Wet crawl space moisture
Surface and shallow groundwater around the foundation often show up as damp crawl air. We install exterior drains. Encapsulation is a different product.
Hill Country homes on slabs and crawls both collect trouble when the yard holds water. Short downspouts, clay, and poor grade keep soil wet against the stem wall. Vents pull that moisture inside. Homeowners smell it before they see a puddle.
Hill Country Drain installs exterior French drains. We move water away from the house before it soaks the perimeter. We do not sell crawl encapsulation, interior drain tile packages, or dehumidifier systems on this site.
Exterior drain versus encapsulation
- Exterior French drain: trench outside, socked pipe, graded discharge. Targets yard and perimeter water.
- Encapsulation: sealed crawl liner and often mechanical drying. Interior product. Different contractor scope.
If your issue is standing water in the yard or soggy beds against the house, start with an exterior inspection. If the crawl needs a sealed system, ask a crawl specialist. We will tell you which side of that line you are on after we walk the lot.
