Crawl Space French Drain for Griffin homeowners
In Griffin the water arrives slowly and stays. Heavy Piedmont clay holds it against the foundation for a week or more after rain, so the perimeter of a crawl space is wet far more of the year than the middle, and nothing about the soil is going to change that.
A French drain is the practical answer on this ground. The trench and stone bed give water a route it prefers, running along the perimeter where the water is already collecting. That converts a week of standing damp into a few hours of drainage.
Griffin sits at elevation with rolling ground, so many lots have fall available. Where we can carry a line downhill to daylight we do, and the whole system runs on gravity. Where a house sits in a flat pocket, the drain feeds a basin and a pump provides the exit.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Griffin home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
