Crawl Space Waterproofing for Sunny Side homeowners
On the rolling ground around Sunny Side, water goes where the land tells it to. It runs off the high points and collects in the folds, and houses tend to be built in those folds because they are the flatter ground. That puts a crawl space at the bottom of a natural drainage path.
Piedmont clay keeps whatever arrives. It will not carry water down and away, so the ground around a house stays saturated for a long stretch after each wet period. The crawl space feels that as damp ground at minimum, and as standing water where the fold is pronounced.
The work starts uphill. An interception drain across the high side takes the load off before it arrives, which on this terrain is the highest value part of the job. Then a perimeter drain at the house for what still gets through, gravity discharge where the fall allows, and a sealed vapor barrier over the ground.
Here is what our crawl space waterproofing work includes on a Sunny Side home, in town or out toward the Spalding County line.
