One of the worst moments as a homeowner is finding water in your crawl space. And flooding, water seepage, leaks, and high moisture levels are risks that all homeowners dread.
That’s why Crawlspace Medic offers a range of services like French drains and sump pumps to prevent and remediate crawl space water problems. With your home’s crawl space secure, you can face the future with confidence.
A French drain is basically a trench full of gravel that keeps your crawl space dry during heavy rains. 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.
A French drain 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 “weeping tile” or a “rock drain.” French drains are installed inside your crawl space, so they’re not visible or accessible from the outside of your home.
A sump pump is a device installed in your crawl space, usually in conjunction with a French drain, to pump water flow out and away from your home’s foundation. Even if you live in an area that doesn’t rain often, having a sump pump in your crawl space will save you significant headache and expense when it does rain. Sump pumps can also prevent groundwater from building up under your foundation, preventing gradual structure damage.
Moisture issues exist in crawl spaces nationwide. Crawlspace Medic provides a range of repair and prevention services, including interior french drain and sump pump installation, to protect your home from water damage. With a properly installed, well-functioning sump pump system, your crawl space will stay dry–and you’ll have the peace of mind you deserve.
