Standing water needs a clear way out. We inspect where water enters your crawl space, then plan the drainage, sump, and discharge route around your home.
The recommendation starts with the water and conditions beneath your home.
Water can reach the crawl space after a rainstorm, through the foundation, or from a plumbing leak. Before recommending drainage, we look at how it gets in, where it collects, and where it can safely leave the home.
An interior drainage system collects water and carries it toward a sump basin or suitable outlet. It can help manage recurring water, but it does not repair a leaking pipe, damaged framing, or every source of moisture. Those findings belong in the same inspection and written plan.
Standing water is the clearest signal. Odors, humidity, or changes in the floor are reasons to inspect the whole space.
A drainage path connects the collection route with the point of discharge. Each part needs to fit the crawl space and the conditions found during inspection.
A French drain or other interior drain tile directs water toward a sump pump or designated outlet.
We assess entry points, low areas, soil, access, and the foundation layout. The recommended drain, gravel, and filtering material are explained in your written scope. Interior drainage and exterior runoff management may both have a role.
Where pumping is needed, the sump basin and pump remove water that reaches the collection point.
CB uses Pro Series sump pumps for standard sump-pump installations. We assess the basin, pump, and discharge together. An existing pump is checked for condition and suitability before we recommend retaining or replacing it.
The outlet carries collected water away from the foundation. We check the route and operation before the walkthrough.
A drainage system needs a suitable discharge location as well as a collection route. We explain exterior excavation, connections, and restoration included in the project, then review how to keep accessible outlets clear.
Water collection, ground-moisture control, and ongoing maintenance work together. Drainage is one part of a crawl space waterproofing plan.

I'm pretty happy with the work and price. Both the sales rep and installers showed me pictures throughout, and kept me up to date with the progress. The electricians they use are outsourced, which may have been the cause of a little confusion for my installation job. Our sales rep, David, was great. He was laid back and didn't push unnecessary solutions. In fact, I even ended up calling him back after a particularly bad storm so I could add more drainage and sump pumps to my quote. There was an unexpected change in scheduling, so my crawl space was started and finished a week earlier than scheduled. That was an improvement for me, since I work from home with a flexible schedule. The only downside is that I didn't hear from the electrician until I called the CSB office two weeks later (assuming the scheduling conflict was the initial issue). Our installers, Devon and Daquan, were excellent. They were very professional and kept me informed as they progressed. Devon even warned me that there may be some confusion on the electrical side due to the change order. That warning came true and was able to be resolved the same day, so shout out to Devon for seeing problems before they happen. The electrician, Cody, was great as well. There was a small mix-up with the number of outlets needed, which he resolved immediately. It has only been a few weeks since the installation, so I'll update this post if I run into any issues.
We are in a low spot in our neighborhood and had our ductwork destroyed by a big rain. The Crawlspace Brothers installed two sump pumps, a dehumidifier, a French drain around the interior of the crawl space and did a full encapsulation at our home and I could not be more satisfied with their work. It is dry under there now after more rain and the humidity is low. Throughout the time they were working under the house, they were on-time, very professional and just did a fantastic job. Thank you, Crawlspace Brothers!
Crawl Space Brothers did a drainage system with sump pump in our crawl space. Devon Collins (foreman) and Daquan Boyd (co-foreman) installed and completed the work on this job. They were some of the nicest people I have ever encountered. They are knowledgeable, knew what the job entailed, explained everything prior, during and after completion. They took pictures as they progressed so I could see what was being done. They are extremely polite and actually listen to you if you have questions. And even though the crawl space was a muddy mess they did not complain. I truly appreciate those guys, wish the best for them, and hope the Crawl Space Brothers knows what an asset they are to their company. Thank you for helping us with our drainage issue.
Crawl Space Brothers encapsulated my crawl space several years ago (including installing a french drain, sump pump etc.). They did good work initially and have been readily available to address maintenance issues that have arisen since then.
When moisture became a significant problem in my condo's shallow crawl space, Scott from Crawl Space Brothers provided a thorough assessment. I appreciated his expertise and had confidence in his proposed solution. Brandon and his team installed a vapor barrier, drains, two sump pumps, and a dehumidifier. They were courteous and professional. Brandon explained the process clearly and answered all of my questions. I'm pleased with the results. I strongly recommend Crawl Space Brothers in Greenville for their reliability and quality workmanship.
