Prevent the groundwater entry or just keep pumping that water
If you are experiencing groundwater in your basement or crawlspace, you likely will go through the process of educating yourself on various methods of dealing with groundwater problems and solutions.
The choice of methods is most often based on your objective. Keep pumping the water out, with a guarantee that the company will always keep a working sump pump in place, or prevent the groundwater from entering in the first place.
Hand excavated french drains are your best bet for solving groundwater entry below grade.
The foundation area is best prepared for success by compacting a splash block for about 2 feet from the foundation, that slopes away from the foundation to the inside of the hand excavated french drain.
Downspouts, gutters, and rain drain discharges round out the list of more common groundwater problem contributors to groundwater in the crawlspace or basement.
