Perimeter Drain Installation in Savannah GA. Foundation Protection

Perimeter drains—also called footer drains or French drains—run around your foundation to intercept groundwater before it reaches your walls. When the water table rises or rain saturates the soil, these drains collect the moisture and route it away. Your basement or crawl space stays dry. Your foundation walls don't face constant water pressure. We install perimeter drains that protect Savannah homes from the high water tables common in the Lowcountry.

When You Need Perimeter Drain Installation

Install perimeter drains when groundwater causes foundation moisture problems. Signs include water seeping through basement walls, damp crawl spaces, efflorescence on foundation walls, and musty odors from below grade. If your property has a high water table or sits in a low-lying area, perimeter drains provide proactive protection. They're especially valuable for properties near marshes, rivers, or tidal areas.

Our Perimeter Drain Installation Process

Interior perimeter drains are installed inside the crawl space or basement, routing to a sump pump. Exterior perimeter drains require excavation around the foundation, placement of pipe and gravel at the footer level, and proper backfill. We slope drains toward collection points and discharge locations. Both types effectively intercept groundwater—the choice depends on your property's conditions and access.

Perimeter Drain Installation Cost in Savannah

Costs depend on foundation perimeter length and whether interior or exterior installation is needed. Exterior drains cost more due to excavation. We provide free assessments to evaluate your situation and detailed estimates.
