Drainage Solutions in the SC Lowcountry & Coastal Georgia
Water always finds the lowest point. Our job is to give it somewhere better to go than your crawlspace, your footings or your floor.
Service Overview
What drainage work actually involves
In a region this flat and this wet, drainage is not a luxury. Stormwater, rising groundwater and poorly directed downspouts all put water against foundations and under floors.
We look at the whole path water takes — roof, gutters, grade, soil, footing — and then design interior or exterior drainage, sump capacity and discharge that actually moves water away from the house.
- Sump pumps
- Drain tile
- Interior drainage
- Exterior drainage
- Crawlspace water management
Common warning signs
- Standing water or saturated soil under the home
- A damp, muddy crawlspace after heavy rain
- Water staining on foundation walls or piers
- Sump pump that runs constantly or never runs at all
- Pooling in the yard near the foundation
- Musty odour that gets worse after storms
Potential causes
These are the conditions we look for. More than one is usually present, which is why we assess before recommending.
- Flat lots with nowhere for stormwater to sheet
- Downspouts discharging within a few feet of the foundation
- Soil graded back toward the house
- High seasonal water table
- Failed, clogged or missing footing drainage
Our Evaluation
How we inspect before we recommend
An assessment is not a sales visit. We gather the information needed to give you a real answer.
- 01
Trace where water enters and where it settles
- 02
Check grade, gutters, downspouts and discharge points
- 03
Inspect the crawlspace after rain where possible
- 04
Confirm sump basin condition, pump capacity and discharge route
- 05
Plan drainage together with encapsulation so the two work as one system
