NATURALLY ROLLS DOWNHILL...
A wet basement or crawl space is more than a nuisance. The integrity of the entire structure, and health of the inhabitants, is at risk. Finished basement living space you have, or desire, can be ruined with any kind of moisture. Flooring, drywall, and framing included. Upper levels are not exempt, if you have a crawl space or just use your basement for storage, a simple case of condensation can buckle hardwood flooring on the level above and spawn harmful mold, rot support beams or collapse basement walls. The American Society of Home Inspectors estimates 60 percent of U.S. homes have wet basements (higher in Indiana clay and limestone).

Water most often comes from rainfall and melting snow but may even come from a spring. A house with a 1,500-square-foot roof sheds 1,000 gallons of water for every inch of falling rain. Water is known for always finding the path of least resistance, and this is precisely what it will do. Water is able to get into the basement over the top of the foundation, through leaking wall or floor cracks, through the cove joint (where the wall meets the floor), or through leaking basement windows with clogged well drains.

Regardless of how it gets into a home, it's going to cause problems. Moisture is detrimental to the structural integrity of a home, and it causes wood rot on support beams, floor joists, staircases, banisters, et al. Rotting wood also invites termites, spiders, roaches, mosquitoes, snakes, rats, mice, and other pests.

Mold thrives on humid, organic materials, releasing spores up and into the air. These spores eventually make their way into the living areas of the home, and make people and animals sick.

PROCESS, CREW AND SYSTEMS TO REDIRECT NATURE...
We are mindful of our process, the product and our customers' properties. We practice Kaizen, Japanese for "improvement." Our crew works to continuously improve. We clean up when we finish, art in all... show more
things.

Our main remedies for Indiana's rock and clay ridden topography include installing basement waterproofing 'aqua tunnels' placed below the floor and crawl space encapsulation. Our systems keep moisture and mold at bay. We can install vapor barriers, liners, sump pumps, and air filtration systems.

We provide yard drainage solutions. Often times, a wet basement or crawl space is a result of poor yard drainage. We install downspout extensions, 'water boxes' and drains. Water from gutters often drains out too close and pools next to the home where it will eventually make its way inside to the basement or damage the foundation.

Damage already noticeable? No worries. We can fix sagging floors and even stop bowed basement walls. Carbon fiber straps or earth-locked braces freeze bowed basement walls. Hydraulic recovery (lifting) and stabilization of saggy floors can give new life to your home. We also have experience with foundation repair and helical piers to recover and stabilize foundations. Consultation and remedies available for sinking homes and buildings.

Painting and drywall repair, trim and wood floors, egress windows with exterior drainage and steps, decks, and concrete repair can all be handled in house. Our crew is founded by a team of ex-painters, carpenters, masons, foremen, and general construction workers. Four of us have prior water remediation experience. Our CEO helped build and market a similar business in Carmel, IN, growing from one crew member to four entire crews.

Hoosier Water Away Service was founded with family to provide more services to a larger geographic area.

**Basement Waterproofing Systems by Hoosier Water Away Service**
Regardless of what a homeowner plans on doing with their basement environment, they need to be sure it is dry, safe, and healthy. "Waterproofing" is ensuring that this area stays dry through the use of interior and exterior systems. When water issues are left untreated, serious and expensive damage can be a result in the entire home.

Our team will find the causes of leaks and discuss options with the homeowner. We make use of a variety methods including aqua tunnels, pumps, downspout extensions, proper drainage... all of which have proven to be effective at taking care of the worst problems.

- Increased property value
- No wood rot to attract termites, rats, snakes, mice, spiders, skunks, roaches, mosquitoes...
- Ability to add extra living space (bedrooms, family rooms, home gyms, home theaters, etc.)

**Crawl Space Encapsulation by Hoosier Water Away Service**
A crawl space underneath a home, not as tall as a basement, may have a dirt or concrete floor. These areas are often overlooked by homeowners. However, when the area is not properly sealed, it can become inundated with water whenever it rains, or snow melts. This moisture can damage the crawlspace, wooden support beams and floor joists used to support the home. Rotting wood makes the rest of the home smell musty, and also invites unwanted critters, such as termites, roaches, snakes, mice, rats, mosquitoes, spiders, skunks, and other pests.

Water here can also lead to black mold. Mold is a dangerous fungus that grows whenever moisture, high humidity levels, and organic materials are present. Mold spores are released into the air, and make their way into the living areas of a home. It will effect a home's indoor air quality, and it can also make its inhabitants very sick. Mold has been known to cause a variety of health problems, including: breathing issues, asthma attacks, headaches, skin rashes, allergies, fatigue, cold/flu-like symptoms, and more.

The solution is to have the area properly sealed off from the outside environment with crawl space encapsulation. We seal out water, excessive humidity, critters and dangerous soil gases, such as Radon. This will improve the indoor air quality of your home and make it a much safer and healthier place to live.

**Downspout Extensions and Yard Drainage by Hoosier Water Away Service**
Our team of waterproofing professionals will come to your home, check for sloping, downspout, and other water source issues then come up with a plan of action for getting your problems taken care of. This may mean that you need downspout extensions to take care of water pooling up by the foundation. Additional pipes, water boxes or drainage systems may be utilized. Our experts will be able to get to the bottom of the situation and ensure that you won't need to deal with water accumulating on your lawn or in your basement again.

**Sump Pump Services by Hoosier Water Away Service**
- Free sump pump inspection
- Sump pump replacement
- New sump pump installation
- Sump pump maintenance
- Power outage protection with battery backup systems
- Complete basement and crawl space waterproofing systems

A sump pump is the heart of a basement or crawl space waterproofing system. This electrically powered device does the heavy lifting to keep your basement dry. It pumps water out of your basement (or crawl space) after the water collects in a sump pit dug into the floor (and often fed by aqua tunnels).

Your sump pump setup doesn’t have to be an eyesore. Instead of being installed in an ugly open hole, your sump pump will be housed in a durable plastic sump liner with a cover. Sump pumps are a part of a well-designed system with top-quality components that work together to keep your basement dry.

We fix all that! Carbon fiber straps or earth-locked braces for bowed basement walls. Hydraulic recovery and stabilization of saggy floors can give new life to your home. We are a team of ex-painters, carpenters, masons, foremen and general construction workers here to stop the source of the water damage and put your home back to original or improved condition. Painting and drywall repair, trim and wood floors, egress windows with exterior drainage and steps, decks, and concrete repair can all be handled in house.

We also work well with others, utilizing a tight knit roster of ace sub-contractors in pier, masonry, roofing and interior specialties. For example, Thomison Interior's portfolio of fine specialty flooring. And the water tight roofs from RCV Roofing. Dry basement specialist and heavy equipment operator, Brandon Brown, does excellent work based in Carmel, IN. We also dry and certify houses for OnSite Investments.

Thank you for visiting us and we look forward to solving your water issues!
