Runoff off a Fall Line slope and groundwater near the Ocmulgee. Waterproofing deals with the liquid water itself.
There is a difference between a damp crawl space and a wet one. Damp is vapor coming off the soil. Wet is liquid water arriving from somewhere and pooling under your floor, and in Macon it usually arrives from one of two directions depending on which side of the Fall Line your house sits on.
North and west of downtown the clay sheds water across the surface, so runoff comes downhill and works under the foundation during heavy rain. East and south toward the Ocmulgee the water table is the source, rising through the season until it reaches the crawl space floor. Same puddle, two entirely different causes, and the fix has to match which one you have.
Waterproofing gives that water a route out. A perimeter drain inside the crawl space collects it, a sump lifts it, and a discharge line carries it well clear of the house. Outside we correct grade and get roof water piped away. A sealed vapor barrier goes over the ground last so the damp side is handled too. Photographs of the whole system and a fixed written price come first.
Our crawl space waterproofing scope is the same on every Macon home, whatever the Bibb County ground turns out to be doing.
