Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Augusta, GA
Basement seepage, failed sumps and water through the slab are extracted and dried, and the path from the ground is found so the floor stays dry next season. The path from the ground is named first: through the wall, up through the slab, back through a drain, or from a sump that stopped. The space is extracted and dried, with the porous materials the water touched removed, and the delivery is addressed, because a dried floor only stays dry if the water stops arriving.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
- Emergency Water Extraction
Standing water is pumped and extracted around the clock, before it climbs the walls and soaks the subfloor. Same-day response where coverage allows.
- Mold Inspection & Testing
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches.
Frequently asked questions
How high is too high for a planting bed?
Any bed whose surface is above the floor inside is too high, and once it is within a few inches of the siding it is too high as well. The building was detailed to have a gap between the ground and the wall covering, and everything about how that wall sheds water depends on the gap still being there.
What does the buried wall actually do?
It takes up water and holds it. Brick weeps that were meant to drain the cavity are below the mulch line and cannot discharge; siding that was meant to end clear of the ground is sitting in wet material. Both put moisture into the structure behind them steadily rather than in an event.
Is lowering a bed a real fix?
It is most of one, and it is cheap. Cutting the bed back to expose the bottom of the wall and grading it to fall away restores the gap the building needs. The plants can be replanted lower; what should not go back is the practice of adding an inch of fresh mulch on top every spring.
