Why Indianapolis homes are different

The White River runs through the city, and full basements are the regional default, which means most homes have far more below-grade surface area exposed to ground moisture than crawlspace or slab construction elsewhere.

Irvington and other early-1900s Indianapolis neighborhoods have full basements dug before modern exterior waterproofing membranes were standard, which is why basement seepage after heavy rain is one of the most common calls in the older parts of the city.
