When the water table rises under a Byron house, a pump is what keeps it below the crawl space floor.
In Byron the water tends to come from below. Coastal Plain sand passes rain down until it reaches the saturated zone, and when that level rises in a wet season it can come up to the level of a crawl space floor, particularly on the low ground near Big Indian Creek.
You cannot drain water away that is already at the same level as the space. The only way it leaves is by being lifted. That is what a sump pump does, and paired with drainage lines set below the crawl space floor it keeps the water table from ever reaching the surface of the space.
We set the basin deep enough to intercept the water before it surfaces, run drainage lines to feed it, size the pump for the wet season peak, and route a discharge far enough out that sandy soil does not simply carry it back. A check valve and, where appropriate, battery backup complete it.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Byron home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.

Trench Guys came to my home and corrected a sagging kitchen floor. They did a great job and guarantee their work for 10 years! I absolutely will be calling them anytime I need help.
I don't usually write reviews but John and his crew are absolutely awesome. They did my crawl space encapsulation. I got other quotes - don't waste your time with the other guys. Outstanding service at an incredible price!
