Sump Pumps Photo Album: Drainage System needed for Flooded Crawlspace - Sandy, OR

This homes crawlspace flooded a few times a year and the space was smelling damp and musty. The homeowners knew something needed to be done. In the end the right choice for them was a pipe, pump, and plastic. The 6 Mil vapor barrier will still need to be replaced every few years, but the new drainage system will keep it from flooding and causing long term damage.

Pooling Water

The crawl space had a layer of water throughout the area as well as some wooden posts that needed to be addressed

Mineral Deposits When Water Levels Get Lower

As water levels went down, mineral deposits were identified crusted along the old vapor barrier

Exposed Dirt Flood

TripleSafe and Drainage System

A full interior drainage system was installed to collect and grade the groundwater to the lowest point where a TripleSafe sump pump is installed then pump the water safely away from the homes foundation.
