Crawl Space Waterproofing for Orchard Hill homeowners
Under Orchard Hill the clay sits on rock, so water soaking in reaches stone and stops going down. From there it travels sideways through the upper few feet of soil, which is the exact depth a crawl space occupies. That is why houses out here take water that looks like it came from nowhere.
The rural lots have no storm drainage, so all of it has to move through the ground. During a long wet spell the upper soil holds more water than it can shed, and the loose backfill around a foundation becomes the easiest place for it to collect.
The fix uses the land. With acreage we can intercept water uphill, run a stone-packed perimeter drain, and take a discharge far enough out that it never comes back. Where fall allows it runs by gravity with no pump at all. A sealed vapor barrier goes over the ground so the space stays dry between wet spells.
Here is what our crawl space waterproofing work includes on an Orchard Hill home, in town or out toward the Spalding County line.
