Hammond borders Chicago and features some of the densest residential neighborhoods in Northwest Indiana, with homes dating as far back as the 1890s. Flat city terrain and aging infrastructure mean heavy rain has limited routes to drainage, and water frequently finds its way to foundation walls and into crawl spaces. Failing sill plates, deteriorating floor joists, and mold on wood framing that went unnoticed for years are among the most common findings our Hammond crews report.
Many Hammond homes were built with brick foundation walls that were never waterproofed, and the heavy clay subsoils throughout the city hold groundwater against those walls for weeks after a major rain event. French drains or interior drainage paired with encapsulation provides the most reliable long-term protection—and catches problems before they become structural emergencies.
