In this Jacksonville crawl space, the exposed soil and unprotected foundation supports created the perfect environment for excess moisture, high humidity, and potential wood rot. With no drainage system in place, water could easily collect underneath the home, leading to musty odors, mold growth, and structural concerns over time.
To address the moisture problems in this Jacksonville crawl space, we installed a durable drainage matting system across the exposed soil. This matting channels groundwater toward the sump pump while creating a barrier between the damp earth and the home's foundation. By preventing standing water and controlling humidity, the crawl space is now protected against mold, rot, and structural damage.
After laying the drainage matting, we installed a high-performance sump pump system to collect and remove water from the crawl space. This pump connects directly to the drainage matting, ensuring any groundwater or moisture is directed into the basin and then safely pumped outside the home. With this system in place, the crawl space is now protected against flooding and long-term water damage, giving the homeowner peace of mind during heavy rains.
To complete the waterproofing system, we installed an exterior discharge line connected to the sump pump. This line carries water safely away from the home's foundation and releases it through a grated outlet, preventing pooling near the house. By directing water away from the structure, the crawl space remains dry, and the foundation is protected from long-term moisture damage.
