Crawl Space French Drain for Byron homeowners
In Byron water tends to arrive from below. Coastal Plain sand passes rain down to the saturated zone, and when that level rises in a wet season it comes up toward the crawl space floor, particularly on the low ground near Big Indian Creek.
That changes where the drain goes. Catching surface runoff means a shallow trench at the perimeter. Catching a rising water table means the pipe has to sit below the crawl space floor, so it intercepts the water before it ever appears on the surface of the space.
Sandy soil is easy to trench and it moves water into the stone bed quickly, so a properly set drain here performs well. We measure the water level during the inspection, set the invert below it, pack the pipe in washed stone with fabric, and route the collected water to gravity discharge or a basin depending on what the lot allows.
Byron homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
