Greater Lafayette, Indiana
Basepoint fixes what's happening under your house: damp crawlspaces, cracked and bowing foundation walls, wet basements, sinking concrete and the drainage problems that cause all of it. Local crews, a straight diagnosis and a written plan before any work starts.
Check your symptoms
Most foundation and crawlspace problems start small and show up somewhere else first: a sticking door, a musty closet, a crack over a window. Tap a marker to see what it usually means and how we fix it.
What we fix
We start with the cause, not the symptom. Often the right answer is one service; sometimes it's two that work together, like drainage plus waterproofing. We'll tell you which, and why.
Seal the crawlspace off from ground moisture and outside air so it stays dry year-round.
For: musty odors, mold, high humidity
Crawlspace encapsulation details →Stop movement and straighten what can be straightened, with methods matched to your wall and soil.
For: cracks, bowing walls, sticking doors
Foundation repair details →Collect water before it reaches your floor and send it away from the house.
For: wet floors, seepage, efflorescence
Basement waterproofing details →Level bouncy floors from below and raise sunken slabs without tearing them out.
For: dips, bounce, trip hazards, slabs tilting toward the house
Concrete lifting & floor details →Move roof and surface water away from your foundation, which is often the cheapest fix that prevents the expensive ones.
For: pooling water, soggy yards, splashing downspouts

Questions
Don't see yours? Call or text and ask. There's no charge for advice.
Yes. We inspect, take photos and moisture readings, explain what we find and give you a written estimate. There's no charge and no obligation.
Most crawlspace encapsulations, drainage jobs and concrete lifts are done in one to three days. Larger foundation or waterproofing projects can take a few days longer. We'll give you a timeline with your estimate.
Usually not for the whole job. We'll need access to the crawlspace or basement and an outdoor outlet. We'll walk the finished job with you at the end.
Closing vents alone often traps moisture rather than removing it. A dry crawlspace needs the ground covered, the walls and vents sealed, and the air dehumidified. That's what encapsulation does.
No. Thin vertical shrinkage cracks are common in poured walls and often harmless. Horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks in block, or cracks that are widening are the ones to have looked at.
A documented, warrantied repair is much easier to explain to buyers and inspectors than an unknown problem. We provide paperwork you can hand to a buyer.
Free inspection, written plan, no pressure. Serving Lafayette, West Lafayette and the surrounding area.
