Crawl Space French Drain for Henderson homeowners
A French drain is the workhorse fix for crawl spaces around Henderson that take on water. The flat Coastal Plain ground here means runoff moves slowly, and after heavy rain the clay below the sandy loam turns into a shelf that funnels seepage right under the foundation walls.
You see the pattern along one side of the house, usually the side facing a field, a driveway, or the slope toward a creek. The dirt along that wall stays wet, the piers closest to it show staining, and puddles form in the same corner after every storm.
We dig a trench along the inside of the foundation, bed perforated pipe in washed gravel wrapped in fabric, and slope it toward a sump basin or a gravity outlet. The trench collects water before it spreads across the crawl space floor. A liner over the top keeps the space clean and dry. In Henderson, the inspection, photos, and written price are all free.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Henderson home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
