Crawl Space Standing Water Repair — Pooler, GA | Savannah Crawl Space Repair
Emergency drainage and encapsulation for a Pooler home where standing water was discovered after a major rain event during a pre-sale inspection.
Project type
Emergency drainage + encapsulation
Problem
Homeowner discovered standing water during a pre-sale inspection — approximately 3 to 4 inches of water across the rear half of the crawl space after a multi-day rain event. The home had no vapor barrier and the grading on the rear of the property sloped toward the foundation.
Service
Water removal using a submersible pump, inspection of the source (confirmed to be surface runoff through a cracked rear foundation vent), repair and sealing of the foundation vent, exterior grading correction along the rear wall, installation of a perimeter interior drainage channel, and full crawl space encapsulation with a liner and dehumidifier.
Result
Two subsequent heavy rain events produced no water intrusion. The home's sale proceeded and the buyer received a documented summary of the repairs performed, the drainage installation details, and the encapsulation warranty. The project was completed in under one week from first contact to job completion.
