Three core repair systems handle the water, the moisture and the movement — plus concrete lifting, radon mitigation and mold remediation on the same crews.
What is your house trying to tell you?
Pick the symptom you notice most. We’ll show you what it usually means under an Indiana home — and which repair actually solves it.
Groundwater is finding a way in at the footing
Water that shows up after heavy rain is hydrostatic pressure pushing through the joint where the wall meets the floor, or through block cores. Sealing the inside surface alone never holds — the water has to be given a path out.
What a finished job actually looks like
A crawl space is the easiest place to see the difference, because nothing about it is cosmetic. Bare dirt, open vents and damp framing on one side; a sealed floor and walls, closed vents and controlled humidity on the other.
Every inspection is documented with moisture readings, lasers and photos, and the work is done by Michaelis employees rather than subcontractors — so the crew that shows you the problem is the crew that fixes it.
Every job starts with an inspection
The problem gets diagnosed on site, the fix gets priced up front in writing, and the work is handled by our own team.
- Assessment & InspectionWe start with a detailed evaluation of your home’s problem areas — basement, crawl space or foundation. Using tools like lasers and moisture meters, we identify damage, safety concerns, and underlying causes.
- Recommendations & PlanningAfter inspection, we present clear findings and tailored repair options. Whether it’s foundation cracks, bowing walls, or basement moisture, we explain what’s needed and why — with transparent pricing and timelines.
- Execution & RepairOnce approved, our team gets to work. From waterproofing and structural repairs to crawl space encapsulation, we handle it all with professionalism, precision, and lasting results.
