Foundation Repairs in Indianapolis

Leaking basement walls? Water accumulating in your basement? Wall bowing? We can fix them all.

Indiana weather is harsh, at best. And with that harsh weather comes harsh conditions for your foundation. Soil settling, water and freezing temperatures can all affect the structural integrity of your foundation, the very thing your home depends on. But when you experience foundation problems, you can depend on AccuPros Basement Waterproofing of Indianapolis.

We can provide a diagnosis, quote and the services to get your basement dry again. We do our best to answer all of your questions so you can understand exactly what is happening at your property and what can be done to fix the problem. Here are some of the most common questions we receive.

What caused my basement wall to crack/buckle?

Most often in the Midwest, the cause of foundation issues is climate related. Rain and snow increase the moisture in the soil, creating more weight and pressure on your basement walls. This fluctuation in the water pressure creates a constant changing force on your walls. When the temperatures freeze and thaw, the soil all around your foundation shifts and can exert pressure on your walls, creating or enlarging cracks. Over time, these elements take a toll on your foundation walls which can eventually lead them to crack or bow. This leaves older homes even more vulnerable to these conditions.

Can my cracked/buckled basement wall be repaired?

The good news is that yes, more than likely your basement walls can be repaired. If you’ve noticed new or widening cracks or that your walls have begun to shift, it may require the installation of support beams. By excavating the exterior of the foundation walls and installing support beams or reinforcements, your foundation walls can be straightened and strengthened. These beams will help reduce any future movement to prevent any new cracks or movement from happening.

There are times however when the damage done to the walls is too severe to fix, and will need to be replaced. Our experienced contractors can rebuild the damaged wall and take measures to ensure that it not only matches your existing basement walls, but that it does not happen again.

What do you mean by “excavating”?

Excavating simply means removing the dirt from around the exterior of your basement/foundation walls. This is a necessary step, however it is not an easy one. By removing the dirt from around the home, our professionals are able to access the exterior of the walls, meaning that we can take care of whatever problem is creating the water in your basement. Whether it’s exterior waterproofing, repairs or reinforcing the walls, excavation needs to be done. This can, however, be a delicate process, especially when you have basement walls that are already compromised. This is why it is best to hire experienced contractors such as AccuPros Basement Waterproofing of Indianapolis. We will make sure the job is done properly and not cause any further damage to your property.

Why would I need my foundation excavated?

Not all basement foundation issues can be repaired from the inside, and some may require access to the exterior of the walls to make sure that the repair is complete and long lasting. If your basement walls need reinforcing due to cracking or bowing, this can only be done with access to the interior and exterior of the foundation walls.

Interior waterproofing of your basement may not be enough to keep you dry all year round. If this is the case, we will need access to the exterior basement walls to make sure that they are waterproofed both inside and out.

What will happen if I don’t fix my basement walls?

If you have buckling walls or cracks in your basement walls, the problem will only continue to get worse with time. If you have water in your basement, your foundation has been compromised in some way, and it will not remedy itself. The longer foundation issues go without proper repairs, the worse they will get, and you may even need to have the walls completely replaced at an even greater expense. By addressing any cracks, bowing walls or leaking foundations when they are first noticed, you will save time, money and headaches.
