Crawl Space Waterproofing for Griffin homeowners
Griffin clay holds water. It comes in slowly and it leaves slowly, so the ground around a foundation here can stay saturated for a week after a storm while the surface looks dry. Under a shallow crawl space that saturated perimeter is close enough to the framing to keep it damp continuously.
The mill-village homes and fifties ranches here mostly have crawl spaces of sixteen to twenty inches on brick or block piers, with no drainage installed. Water that reaches them has no route out other than slowly soaking away, which on this soil takes a long time.
Waterproofing on Spalding County clay means creating a path the water prefers. A stone-packed perimeter drain gives it that, a sump lifts it out where there is no fall, and the discharge runs downhill away from the house. Outside we correct grade and roof water. A sealed vapor barrier goes over the ground once the liquid water has somewhere to go.
Our crawl space waterproofing scope is the same on every Griffin home, whatever the Spalding County ground turns out to be doing.
