Crawl Space Drainage Repair — Richmond Hill, GA | Savannah Crawl Space Repair
Drainage correction and water intrusion repair for a Richmond Hill home experiencing standing water after heavy rain events.
Project type
Crawl space drainage correction
Problem
After several storms in late spring, homeowner noticed standing water pooling near the rear of the crawl space — approximately 15 square feet of standing water up to 2 inches deep. The source was traced to a low point in the crawl space grade combined with a downspout discharging directly against the foundation.
Service
Re-grading the crawl space floor to establish slope toward a drainage point, installation of a perimeter drain channel along the rear foundation wall, extension of the exterior downspout 6 feet away from the foundation, and a crawl space liner installed after the drainage was confirmed functional.
Result
The following two storm events produced no standing water. The homeowner checked via inspection camera after each event and confirmed a dry crawl space. The project cost was split between the drainage work and the liner installation, with the drainage addressed first as recommended.
