Crawl Space Waterproofing for Milledgeville homeowners
Milledgeville sits on rolling red clay above the Oconee River, and the water moves in two ways depending on where a house is. Up on the slopes it is runoff coming downhill fast. Down near the river the ground holds moisture year round and the water table stays high.
The historic homes downtown have crawl spaces that were never given any drainage, because none was installed in the 1800s. Original brick piers standing in ground that stays wet is a slow problem, and after this many decades some of them show it in the mortar.
The work has to be gentle with the structure and firm with the water. Interception uphill where the terrain calls for it, a perimeter drain inside routed carefully around original pier footings, a sump where there is no fall, and a sealed vapor barrier over the ground. We photograph everything and give a written fixed price before touching a historic foundation.
Milledgeville homeowners get the same scope every time, priced in writing before a crew books the date.
