Crawl Space Waterproofing for Clinchfield homeowners
Clinchfield ground is sandy clay, which takes rain in like sand and then holds it like clay. Under a house the result is soil that stays saturated well after the surface has dried, and in a shallow crawl space that saturated ground is inches from the framing.
The mill-era homes here were built low and without any drainage below them. Fourteen to eighteen inches of clearance is common, so when water arrives there is very little space for it to sit before it is touching the underside of the floor.
The work is drainage and a barrier, done in a tight space. A perimeter drain goes into the ground so it takes no headroom, a low profile sump handles the lift, and the discharge runs clear of the house. Then a sealed vapor barrier over the graded ground. Where clearance is too tight to work we open a channel first.
Our crawl space waterproofing scope is the same on every Clinchfield home, whatever the Houston County ground turns out to be doing.
