How do I get rid of standing water under my house?▼
The most effective solution is a combination of interior drainage (French drains) and a properly sized sump pump that collects water and discharges it away from the foundation. The Crawl Shield designs custom drainage systems for Murfreesboro homes — schedule a free inspection at 629-295-3603.
Will a sump pump keep my crawl space dry during Tennessee storms?▼
A properly installed sump pump with correct discharge routing is designed to handle heavy Tennessee rainfall. A battery backup helps provide protection even during the power outages that often accompany severe storms. No drainage system can guarantee a crawl space will stay dry in every situation, which is why we start with an inspection to design the right system for your conditions.
Can standing water under my house cause foundation problems?▼
It can. Standing water can rot wooden support beams and joists, weaken the foundation, and create conditions for mold and pest infestations. Over time, this can lead to sagging floors, structural damage, and costly repairs.
