Standing water in a crawl space is one of the fastest ways to destroy a home's structural integrity. It rots wood, feeds mold, corrodes metal, and creates the perfect environment for pests. A properly installed sump pump and French drain system removes water at the source — before it causes thousands of dollars in damage.
We design and install complete water management systems tailored to your crawl space. Whether you need a single sump pump, a full perimeter French drain, or a combined system, our team handles everything from excavation to final testing.
What We Install
Crawl Space Sump Pumps
We install submersible sump pump systems inside a sealed sump basin in your crawl space floor. When water accumulates, the pump automatically activates and discharges water away from your foundation. We size the pump to your crawl space and water intrusion level.
- Submersible pump with sealed basin
- Automatic float switch activation
- PVC discharge line routed away from foundation
- Battery backup option available
- Pairs with encapsulation for complete protection
Interior French Drain Systems
A perimeter French drain channels water that enters through the foundation walls or floor toward your sump pump. We excavate a trench along the interior perimeter of your crawl space, install perforated drain pipe in gravel, and route it to the sump basin.
- Perimeter trench excavation
- Perforated drain pipe in washed gravel
- Routes water to sump pump basin
- Eliminates pooling along foundation walls
- Works with existing encapsulation systems
Combined Water Management Systems
For crawl spaces with significant water intrusion, we install a complete system — perimeter French drain feeding into a sump pump, all integrated with your vapor barrier or encapsulation system. This is the most comprehensive solution for wet crawl spaces.
- Full perimeter French drain
- High-capacity sump pump
- Integrated with vapor barrier
- Single discharge point away from home
- Annual maintenance available

Our Installation Process
Free Assessment
We inspect your crawl space, identify water entry points, measure the space, and assess the severity of intrusion to design the right system for your home.
Custom System Design
We design a sump pump, French drain, or combined system sized to your crawl space and water volume. You receive a detailed, no-obligation estimate.
Professional Installation
Our crew excavates, installs the drain pipe and sump basin, sets the pump, routes the discharge line, and integrates everything with your vapor barrier or encapsulation.
Test & Walkthrough
We test the full system before we leave, walk you through how it works, and explain maintenance so you stay protected for years to come.
“Had standing water every time it rained. Koons installed a sump pump and French drain and we haven't had a drop since. Wish we'd done it years ago.”

“The crew was professional and thorough. They explained everything before starting and cleaned up completely when done. The crawl space is dry and the musty smell is completely gone.”
