Crawl Space Drainage & Standing Water Solutions in Tallahassee, FL
Heavy North Florida rain can put water under a home in a hurry, especially where the yard slopes toward the foundation, gutters discharge next to the wall, or the crawl space sits lower than the surrounding grade.
Nothing else under the home works reliably until the water is handled. Sealing a crawl space that still floods just hides the problem.
Where water usually comes from
- Roof water discharging beside the foundation instead of away from it
- Grade that slopes toward the home or a flowerbed holding water against the wall
- Foundation vents or openings low enough to let surface water in
- A crawl space floor lower than the outside soil line
- High groundwater after prolonged rain
Solutions we use
- Interior perimeter or trench drainage routed to a collection point
- Sump basin and pump where water has to be lifted out
- Grading and exterior water management around the affected side of the home
- Gutter and downspout discharge moved away from the foundation
- Sealing entry points once the water is being controlled
Then, and only then, moisture control
Once water is being managed, the ground can be covered and humidity controlled. Doing it in that order is what keeps the result stable through the next rainy season.
