Crawl Space Sump Pump Installation Services

Did you know that there could be a hidden pool under your home? And it’s not the kind you’d want. A wet, flooded crawl space poses a serious risk to your home’s structural integrity and your family’s health and safety. The best defense? A reliable crawl space sump pump.

Many crawl spaces lack adequate waterproofing measures, such as sump pumps, leading to mold growth and compromised structural support. But this issue is fixable. Don’t face it alone; entrust the project to experienced professionals like Alpha Foundations.

Alpha Foundations has served homeowners in Tallahassee, Orlando, Miami, and other areas across Florida for more than 20 years with personalized and comprehensive crawl space encapsulation.

A sump pump sits in the lowest part of your crawl space, actively collecting, removing, and preventing groundwater from flooding the area.

Along with interior perimeter drains, sump pumps control excess moisture and prevent structural water damage. It keeps the area dry and prevents flooding, mold growth, and pest infestations.

By choosing Alpha Foundations to install a sump pump for your crawl space, you get a comprehensive moisture control strategy—including encapsulation, drainage, and dehumidification—that creates a dry, healthy living space.
