The Finished Product
Water that pools in a crawl space after every heavy rain soaks the wood, feeds mold and works against your foundation. Here’s what you’ll see once your drain and sump pump are in.
A drain line runs through a trench sloped toward the basin and is covered in gravel, so water reaches it easily and flows downhill.
The pump sits in the basin and switches on automatically when water rises. You don’t have to do a thing.
Discharge pipes carry the water out of the crawl space and away from your foundation.
No more standing water after a storm, and less moisture soaking into your framing.
Peace of Mind
The Process
01
We dig out a spot at the low point of your crawl space where the sump basin will sit.
02
We dig a trench along the path the water needs to follow, sloped toward the basin so water always runs downhill to it.
03
The drain line goes into the trench and the basin goes into its spot.
04
The drain line is covered with gravel so water can reach it easily.
05
We install an outlet near the basin so the pump has its own power.
06
Discharge pipes run from the basin out of the crawl space, so water ends up outside and away from your home.
07
The sump pump goes into the basin, and we test it to make sure water is moving out.
Most of the work happens under your house, not inside it. Here’s what day to day looks like.
The digging and install all happen down in your crawl space, so we’re rarely inside your living space.
You’ll hear digging and cutting below the floor during working hours. Working from home is usually fine.
The sump pump needs an outlet, and its discharge pipe has to run outside. We’ll plan both with you before install day.
You’ll know your start date and how many days your job will take before we begin. Larger or messier spaces take longer.

What moves the price: how many feet of drain you need, the surface we’re cutting through (dirt, gravel or a concrete slab), how tight the crawl space is to work in, and how many pumps your home needs. Your exact price comes from your inspection. See our full pricing.
