Crawl Space Sump Pump Installation

Water beneath your home is not a feature—it’s a threat. A wet, flooded crawl space jeopardizes your home’s structural integrity and your family’s health and safety. The best line of defense is a dependable crawl space sump pump.

While many crawl spaces lack adequate waterproofing measures like sump pumps, addressing this issue is crucial. Otherwise, you risk harmful mold growth and compromised structural integrity. You don’t have to face it alone—trust the project to experienced professionals like AFS Foundation & Waterproofing Specialists.

AFS Foundation Repair has served homeowners in Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, and other areas for over 20 years with comprehensive crawl space encapsulation proven to protect homes from mold and water damage.

A crawl space sump pump, installed at the lowest point, effectively collects and removes water through a perimeter drainage system.

This system manages excess moisture, preventing water damage and reducing flooding, mold growth, and pest infestations.
