Crawl Space French Drain for Robins Air Force Base homeowners
Most lots around Robins Air Force Base have almost no slope. That is fine for building, but water has no reason to move away from the house once it gets there. After a heavy afternoon storm the sandy soil fills up, the clay below holds it, and the crawl space turns into the low point for the yard.
You see it as a muddy band along one wall, a line of standing water or damp soil that never dries out between rains. Off-base homes built in the fifties through the nineties rarely had interior drainage. Owners who rent out a house after a PCS often learn about it from a property manager's photos.
A crawl space French drain is a trench dug along the wet side or full perimeter, lined with fabric, filled with gravel and perforated pipe, and sloped to a sump pit. The pump discharges the water away from the foundation. A liner usually goes over the top. We start with a free inspection, photos and a written price.
