While the crawl space may be the least used part of the home, it makes a huge difference in the home’s environment and quality of life.

If you’re interested in updating your crawl space, take a look at this recent crawl space transformation and external French drain installation in Princeton, New Jersey:

• This Princeton, NJ homeowner reached out to us because their crawl space has been experiencing consistent flooding after having been flooded with 5” of water after a particularly bad storm. Since that initial flood, the crawl space has been flooding with water every time it rains. Following our 22-point comprehensive evaluation, we determined that this crawl space was a great candidate for a French drain system. In addition to installing the French drain system, we performed the following services:
  • Raised the grade of the crawl space using approximately 6 tons of ⅜” pea gravel.
  • Installed 25-mil drainage matting.
  • Installed a ½ HP Zoeller sump pump.
  • Installed a 12-mil string reinforced vapor barrier to the floors, walls, & pillars.
  • Installed foam pipe insulation.
  • Installed an interior perimeter French drain in the concrete floor.
  • Installed an exterior French drain system.
