Old Foundations, New Problems in Downtown Evansville
Downtown Evansville is rich with history—featuring older homes, mixed-use buildings, and urban infill construction. But beneath the surface lies a common issue: moisture control failures. Whether it’s a 100-year-old brick basement or a renovated crawl space below a downtown duplex, the combination of aging infrastructure, high water tables, and dense lots makes water intrusion and humidity a real threat.
At Crawlspace and Basement Medic of Evansville, we specialize in helping downtown homeowners and property managers address these issues with discreet, modern solutions that protect air quality, preserve structure, and reduce risk.
A healthy home starts from the ground up.
And no home needs that more than one built in the early 1900s.
