Crawl Space French Drain for Milledgeville homeowners
The historic homes in Milledgeville were built long before anybody installed drainage under a house, so most of them have never had any. Water has been arriving at those crawl spaces and leaving on its own schedule for two centuries.
The terrain decides how it arrives. Up on the red clay slopes it is runoff coming downhill fast during a storm. Down near the Oconee it is a high water table that stays up through the wet months. The two need different depths and different discharge plans.
Working under an antebellum house adds one constraint that matters. Original brick pier footings cannot be undermined, so the trench routing is planned around them and hand dug wherever we are close. Everything else is standard: perforated pipe, washed stone, filter fabric, continuous fall, and gravity discharge where the slope allows it.
Our crawl space french drain scope is the same on every Milledgeville home, whatever the Baldwin County ground turns out to be doing.
