Had a great experience with this team. We had a few different companies quote the job in our crawl space and we felt Crawlspace Medic provided the most realistic and efficient solution. After agreeing to the work, scheduling was done relatively easily and the team completed the work in two days. After the job was done, we were not billed for the work until a supervisor inspected everything a few days later. Highly recommend them for crawl space work.

Jake did a fantastic job! I am a real estate agent in the Charlotte area and we needed a professional to come out and assess some moisture in the basement. He was able to come out quickly & write up 2 quotes / suggestions of work. He is very thorough and professional. The entire Crawlspace Medic team had great communication and I would highly recommend. I’ll be using them again!

Curt was awesome, professional and helpful in determining what was most important for us to do to ensure our crawl space was in good shape. He didn’t try to push unnecessary work and was very good at explaining the important details.

FAQ:

What is a French drain and how does it prevent a flooded basement or crawl space?

What is a French drain system and how does it get water out from under your house? It may sound fancy, but it’s basically a trench full of gravel that keeps your crawlspace and basement dry during heavy rains.

A French drain (named after Henry French) directs surface or groundwater away from your home’s foundation, using a trench, pipe, and sump pump. You may have also heard it referred to as a “weeping tile” or a “rock drain.”

Just like gutters collect water from the roof and direct it away from your home, French drains collect and divert rainwater at the ground level.

French drains are installed inside your crawl space or basement, so they’re not visible or accessible from the outside of your home.

Can I install a french drain myself?

There are plenty of articles and videos explaining how to DIY French drains and other drainage remedies. But is this something that you really should take on yourself? From choosing the wrong type of rocks to using the wrong type of fabric to sloping the pipes incorrectly, there are plenty of mistakes you can make when installing a French drain.

Or maybe you hired another French drain contractor who made the mistakes–we’re ready to come put things right so you can be confident that the job is done correctly.

What are the benefits of a french drain?

New construction includes some kind of French drain installation or another water drainage method. Whether your drain needs repair or you live in an older home that needs new French drain installation, keeping your drainage system repaired and maintained is crucial for the safety of your home and your investment.

French drain vs. sump pump

French drains and sump pumps actually go hand-in-hand. French drains prevent water from pooling around your house and sump pumps release the water into your yard, far enough away from your house that the water drains properly.

Sump pumps also work along with exterior drain tiles and floor drains, keeping your basement or crawl space free from water during heavy rainstorms.
