How to Tell When You Need Crawl Space Waterproofing

Concrete crawl space floors show obvious signs of standing water, as you will notice damp concrete or puddles of water on the slab. Any water on your crawl space floor indicates a need for waterproofing measures to protect your foundation.

If the crawl space floor is unfinished, the surface most likely is made of dirt. Look for moist soil or muddy areas where the soil has become saturated.

What Is Crawl Space Waterproofing?

Crawl space waterproofing is a service that protects the area beneath your home from water entry and resulting structural damage. Our Sequoyah Hills, Knoxville crawl space waterproofing team offers several options to protect your home. Here are a few of the services we offer to ensure your crawl space remains dry and protected:

Perimeter Drains

We install drains around the crawl space, and implement measures to guide water to the drains to direct it safely away from the foundation. Our perimeter drain systems are a simple yet effective crawl space waterproofing method.

Drainage Liners

Our experts can install drainage liners in your Sequoyah Hills, Knoxville crawl space, which cover the entire crawl space surface. The liner guides water out of the crawl space, and can be directed to a drainage system. Drainage liners are ideal for soil surfaces that can trap melting snow and rain.

Sump Pumps

For maximum protection against water buildup in your home's crawl space, our team in Sequoyah Hills, Knoxville recommends sump pump installation. Once installed, these systems automatically activate when water reaches a certain level in the sump pit, pumping excess moisture away from your foundation. We can also install battery-powered backup systems that continue working during power outages, providing continuous protection for your home.
