Water Problems in Schererville Start Underground

Schererville sits in the heart of Lake County, where flat terrain and clay-heavy soils create conditions that send water straight toward foundation walls instead of away from them. The Turkey Creek corridor and drainage patterns along the US-41 corridor mean that runoff from storms has few natural outlets. Basements here absorb that pressure season after season, and the damage tends to build quietly until it becomes impossible to ignore.

Most homeowners in the 46375 zip code don’t notice the problem until they find water pooling on the basement floor after a heavy rain, or until they spot white mineral deposits forming on block walls — a sign that moisture has been moving through the masonry for some time. Plum Creek and the low-lying sections near the creek channel make some neighborhoods particularly vulnerable to hydrostatic pressure during spring thaw and summer storms.

EverDry Waterproofing of Michiana has been solving exactly these problems since 1993. Founded by Matt and Dave Kaminsky, the company has waterproofed more than 80,000 homes across Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan. Schererville homeowners deserve that same track record working for them. Learn more about our full range of basement waterproofing services and what they can do for your home.

Serving Schererville Neighborhoods and Surrounding Areas

From established subdivisions near US-41 to newer developments pushing toward the Plum Creek greenbelt, EverDry Michiana provides waterproofing assessments and repairs throughout Schererville. Our crews are familiar with the varied lot grading, drainage infrastructure, and foundation ages across the community.

US-41 Corridor Neighborhoods

Homes along and adjacent to the US-41 corridor often sit on lots with grade changes that concentrate runoff against foundation walls. EverDry's team understands how development density in this zone affects underground water movement.

Turkey Creek Drainage Zone

Properties near Turkey Creek face elevated water table concerns during wet seasons. Hydrostatic pressure from saturated soils is a persistent threat, and many homes in this zone benefit from interior drainage system upgrades.

Plum Creek Area

The Plum Creek greenbelt creates beautiful scenery but also means neighboring homes deal with seasonal moisture intrusion. Crawl spaces in particular tend to hold humidity and develop mold issues in this part of Schererville.

Lake County Clay Soil Zones

Lake County's clay-dominant soils expand when wet and contract when dry, placing cyclical lateral stress on foundation walls. EverDry's structural assessments identify early-stage bowing or cracking before it escalates.

Met with Jim Glick on a waterproofing system in Michigan City, Indiana. Jim sat down and took the time to explain the full system with me and explained how it differed from other competitors. Very impressed with the system and feel confident it will solve the issue.

He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and informative, making sure i understood every detail and answered all of my questions. His honesty and professionalism gave me the confidence I needed to make a more informed decision. I truly appreciate all of his help and would highly recommend him to anyone.

David came out and spent 90 minutes being one of the best salesmen I've ever encountered in real life. He FIRST tells you which color on the test means mold before he tests for mold. It's the bad color. He FIRST tells you which number is acceptable for wall moisture before he places the device on the wall and gets the measurement. It's a bad measurement. He tells you the things floating in the flashlight beam is also mold, though I could have sworn those were known as dust motes. He tells you how water falls into the hole that was dug to create your home and everything is moving, just like when you stand on the beach and the water washes in and you feel yourself slowly sinking. You know what it's like to stand on a beach. He tells you with their special machine, you'll never have to dust again. He tells you have a really nice house and you've taken good care of it, praising your home and efforts, but if you trust EverDry, they can make everything great, permanently, so you don't feel like you're living in a dump. He takes photos and prints them from the trunk of his Cadillac. He measures the square footage and then pulls out a pre-made sheet and tells you the total cost to do all the things: $28,000. You don't even have water in your basement; you just want to add longevity to the current foundation. You feel like nothing about the offer is tailor made to your home because there is no itemized estimate. He lets you know that if you want financing, it's about 10% to 11% interest that compounds daily. You need to put $500 down. Your house is so tempting, he says, because he feels that if he can squeeze you in between other jobs when the crew is waiting around, they'll reduce the price. However, you have to agree that you will only get 24-48 hours' notice. You tell him you work from home and can't have noise while you're working. He continues to say you only get 24-48 hours' if you want the special deal, so you feel like he doesn't care and isn't listening. You say you need time to talk to your bank about financing, and he emphasizes that financing is financing, that you'll have to pay off the loan faster through your bank and that you should sign with him today. You tell him you're going to take a week to think about it. Uninvited, he says he'll stop by in two days. Later, you get a call from EverDry asking how David was. You are evasive and say that he said everything clearly, because he did. He was very clearly a salesman who wanted to close on a $28,000 contract after a 90-minute spiel. But we're not done yet. Two weeks later, you receive communication from EverDry asking you to confirm an appointment to go over pricing options at your home. You do not confirm the appointment, as you never made an appointment. EverDry had more invited themselves to your home. So, if that's what you're looking for as a homeowner, 5/5 stars, no notes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Basement Waterproofing in Schererville, IN

The combination of flat topography, clay-heavy Lake County soils, and proximity to drainage corridors like Turkey Creek and Plum Creek means water has limited natural escape routes. When rain saturates the soil, hydrostatic pressure builds against foundation walls quickly. Homes without adequate drainage systems or waterproofing membranes are first to show the effects.

Horizontal or stair-step cracks, walls that appear to bow or lean inward, and doors or windows that stick suddenly can all indicate structural movement rather than just moisture intrusion. EverDry's free assessment distinguishes between these issues and recommends the appropriate solution — sometimes both are needed.

Interior systems work very well for most homes and are significantly less disruptive. They intercept water that has already entered the wall system and redirect it to a sump pump. Exterior excavation is reserved for cases with failed membranes, severe structural damage, or situations where interior access is limited.

Yes. A significant portion of the air circulating in a home's living spaces comes from below, especially in homes with crawl spaces. Sealing the crawl space from ground moisture reduces the mold spores, humidity, and odors that migrate upward. Many homeowners notice a difference within weeks of encapsulation.

Yes. EverDry's lifetime warranty is fully transferable to the next homeowner at the time of sale. This is documented and can be disclosed to buyers during a real estate transaction. It's one reason EverDry-waterproofed homes in Schererville tend to close with fewer moisture-related contingencies.
