A crack in your poured foundation wall is more than just an eyesore. It can lead to long-term structural damage, water penetration, and costly repairs if ignored. Foundation cracks are often caused by settling foundations, concrete shrinkage, or soil expansion. These issues are particularly prevalent for Indiana homeowners due to the environmental impact on building materials.
Hidden cracks, especially in finished basements, can allow water to seep behind walls, causing damage to wood studs and drywall. Moisture can lead to harmful mold growth or make your basement space unusable. At SwainCo., we understand homeowners' challenges and specialize in providing permanent, foolproof solutions for foundation repair and maintenance.
At SwainCo., we utilize our exclusive SwainCo. CrackSeal Repair System provides a comprehensive, long-lasting solution for leaky poured foundation wall cracks. Unlike other methods, such as standard crack sealants or injection systems, our approach is designed to adapt to cracks' continuous growth and shrinkage caused by settling or soil expansion. Here's how it works:
We begin by sealing the crack with a high-grade waterproof sealant. This initial step prevents immediate water penetration and forms a strong protective barrier.
Next, we install an innovative diversion system. This ensures that even if the crack reopens due to foundation wall movement or settling, water will be redirected away, keeping your basement dry for years.
Our interior CrackSeal solution resolves existing leaks and provides proactive protection against future problems. It is the most effective basement waterproofing strategy for Indiana basements and is backed by a full warranty for peace of mind.
Crawl Space Repair
For homeowners across Indiana, SwainCo delivers dependable crawl space repair solutions tailored to tackle moisture damage, sagging floors, mildew, and standing water. From restoring rotted wood and replacing missing insulation to correcting structural issues, our experienced team works to bring your crawl space back to a dry, stable, and functional condition, supporting your home's overall durability.
Crawl Space Waterproofing
Keeping moisture out of your crawl space prevents rot, mold, and air quality problems. SwainCo. 's waterproofing solutions include top-tier drainage setups, vapor barriers, and sump pumps built to manage water effectively. With our systems in place, standing water becomes a thing of the past, and your crawl space stays protected from ongoing moisture threats.
Mold Remediation
Using a specialized three-step process, SwainCo. Eliminates crawl space mold with precision. Our Hydrosafe mold spray penetrates deep to remove spores and stop regrowth, while our moisture control measures target the root cause. This approach helps restore indoor air quality and reinforces your home's structural health.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Encapsulation seals off your crawl space from the outside environment—and SwainCo. handles every step. We create a controlled space under your home, from installing heavy-duty vapor barriers and foam insulation to setting up drainage and dehumidifiers. This upgrade keeps out pests, moisture, and humidity while improving comfort, air quality, and energy savings.
Crawl Space Insulation
Crawl space insulation creates a comfortable, efficient home. SwainCo. removes old or deteriorating insulation and installs modern alternatives designed to resist moisture and seal out cold air. Our approach prevents frozen pipes, lowers energy costs, and helps regulate your indoor environment year-round.
Crawl Space Vapor Barriers
Our crawl space vapor barriers offer a reliable defense against ground moisture. SwainCo. installs durable, long-lasting materials that cover soil and foundation surfaces, minimizing the risk of mold and helping maintain better air quality throughout your home. These barriers also boost insulation performance and energy efficiency.
Crawl Space Drainage Systems
Excess water beneath your home can lead to major damage—but a well-designed drainage system stops it in its tracks. SwainCo. installs French drains, sump pumps, and other components that redirect water safely away from your foundation. The result is a consistently dry, healthier crawl space.
Crawl Space Dehumidification
Controlling crawl space humidity is vital in preventing mold and moisture damage. SwainCo. installs advanced AprilAire dehumidifiers that manage indoor moisture levels, lighten the load on HVAC systems, and improve air quality—all while keeping your crawl space safe from long-term water-related issues.
Exterior Drainage
Standing water in your yard or near your foundation can spell trouble. SwainCo. designs and installs customized exterior drainage systems, including French and trench drains, to guide water away from your property. This protects against erosion, soggy landscaping, and foundational damage caused by pooling water.
Downspout Extensions
Redirecting roof runoff is a simple but critical step in protecting your home's base. SwainCo. installs below-grade downspout extensions that carry rainwater well away from your foundation, reducing the chances of leaks, water intrusion, and crawl space moisture buildup. It's a small investment that makes a big impact on drainage.
Foundation Repair
Structural issues like bowed walls, shifting floors, and cracks need expert attention. SwainCo. delivers targeted foundation repair solutions, from wall stabilization and braces to soil and floor reinforcement. Each fix is designed to restore your home's strength and prevent future settling or structural compromise.
Foundation Inspections
A detailed foundation inspection from SwainCo. helps detect early signs of structural issues before they become serious. Our specialists evaluate everything from water seepage and cracks to floor unevenness and mold, then deliver clear documentation and professional repair recommendations if needed.
Bowing Wall Repair
Bowing basement walls are often caused by soil pressure around your foundation. SwainCo. offers durable reinforcement systems—like wall anchors and steel beams—built to stabilize and straighten affected areas. With long-term solutions backed by warranties, we help restore structural integrity where it matters most.
Structural Repairs
If your floors are sagging or support beams are compromised, SwainCo. can help. We repair and replace weakened framing components using treated, durable materials. Combining structural work with improved moisture control ensures your home stays safe, stable, and protected against further deterioration.
Basement Waterproofing
Waterproofing your basement protects it from costly damage and moisture-related issues. SwainCo. designs custom systems that capture and remove water using sump pumps, vapor barriers, and interior drainage channels. With options for finished or unfinished basements, every installation includes a lifetime warranty.
Sump Pump Installation
