Moisture Control

---

The bellwether of fast moving water problems for most homes, the downspout drains are one of many solutions to protect your foundation.

French drains have been the work horse of the landscaper for a very long time. Even when that is the wrong answer. The most used and most often abused solution to your water worries, we will create your french drain where and as appropriate. Moreover, we will install it correctly as is usually not done correctly. Isn't that weird? 

Spider drain are a more complex form of french drain for removing water over a larger area. We enjoy these as well. Herringbone designs, grids, all are available. 

Wall drains are a more complex form of drain. They are often used against a house wall or two. Sometimes on the back side of retaining walls. If placed against the home to stop water intrusion, these are placed over a waterproofed house wall and connected to a drain system at the bottom of the footer (called a footing drain). 

A footing drain is a properly constructed french drain at the bottom of the footer of your home. These, along with a wall drain collect all of the water that normally collects near your basement or crawlspace and removes it from the area. 

Though not exclusively, channel drains are used on driveways (and pool areas) to control the amount of water on the surface and remove the rest. 

Crawlspace moisture barriers have historically been a common way to control the moisture in your crawlspace. Not a great solution for many reasons, they are still often employed. We do emplace them at the request of homeowners. 

Crawlspace Encapsulation is the recommended solution for most moisture problems in a crawlspace. It includes a number of different solutions to control water and moisture & remove the same. Its the best solution to protect a home and protect the interior of the home. 

Attic encapsulation is a popular choice these days to cut electrical costs in the budget. Though this isn't a choice for everyone, we have done many.
