There are a few things you can use in your crawlspace to help with standing water. The most popular products we have to offer and what our clients like to have us install are:

Smartpipe^® is a composite pipeline system that eliminates the need for corrosion control and excessive pigging. Because it can be used inside an existing pipeline, it is perfect for situations where congestion of existing pipelines is an issue.

How the SmartSump™ works

The SmartSump™ has a unique sump pump cover design, so water from a plumbing leak fills an alarm pocket on the lid first, sounding a WaterWatch® alarm that will let you know there is a plumbing leak. From there, the water flows down a special airtight floor drain that will let the water down, but damp air cannot come up into your crawl space. The WaterWatch® sump pump alarm also alerts you to pump failure for any reason, including power outages.

The SmartSump™ liner lid also has a built-in knockout to accept a dehumidifier hose. The pictured SaniDry™ CX, a crawl space dehumidifier and air filtration system, works in perfect unity with the CleanSpace® system and the SmartSump™ crawl space sump pump system.

Homeowners noticed that one side of the main level of their house was sinking, causing doors and windows to start sticking. The owners also noticed further signs of a sinking foundation. The kitchen floor was about an inch lower on one side, and there were cracks in the drywall on the opposite side of the home from the kitchen. The property owners had moved into the new house in July but did not notice the sinking of the foundation until about the end of September. They believed the previous winter's weather was a probable cause of this. They gave us a quick call and our expert went to the scene to find some resolutions for their problem.

We recommended push piers to stabilize the foundation and prevent further sinking, as well as EZ Post helical piers to support the outside deck. The homeowners chose to just install an EZ Post pier for the time being and to wait and see what happens with the foundation in the future. They know we have knowledgeable experts, experienced installers, and the best products and warranties around.  They will contact us when they are ready to repair the foundation sinking that has already taken place and any additional settlement in the mean time.

Rose from Caldwell has lived in her home for over 25 years and the first time she found water in her crawl space she called a company to add a vapor barrier.  They told her the 6mil thick liner was the same liner everyone else installed in their homes and that was true. It was only 2 years later that while in her garden Rose notice an odd odor coming from the crawlspace; she took her flashlight and peered into the space. Rose was mortified!   

The black vapor barrier was pull away from the perimeter of the crawlspace exposing the damp dirt and in one corner she could see a large puddle or water. In the large puddle she found mold growing on the wood post that held up her home and she could see the wood had started to rot away.

Rose was not only disgusted by the odor she was living above but she was also scared that the wooden post would snap! She knew that if the post snaped it would cause a ton of damage leaving her home unsafe.

Rose started to look for help; she didn’t want the normal 6 mil thick liner because she has seen how useless it was. She was looking for a real fix to her issue.

She came across our website and found our CleanSpace liner. CleanSpace which is 20 mil think and would seal her home off from the ground water. She also found our SmartJacks which are used to replace beams. She instantly called us and set an appointment for later that week.

For homes in farm areas such as Kuna, Caldwell, Emmett, Middleton, Nampa, Parma and Marsing ground water can be a huge issue. If you find water in your crawlspace or basement please give us a call! We give free estimates! And don’t forget your home will always be your biggest investment, keep it save and enjoyable for your family.

Amy A. from Middleton fell in love with a home built in the late 60s, it was everything she ever wanted. She started to do some remodeling to the exterior of the home and noticed stair-step cracking in the brick. She could tell that the previous owner had attempted to fill the cracks but she knew that filling the cracks or covering the cracks up would only be a band-aid fix. She stated to pay more attention to the out side of her dream home and noticed a gap between the chimney and the side of her home. Worried that there could be an issue with the foundation she reached out to us for help.

Shortly after calling Foundation Supportworks she met with Mike T. one of the teams most quailied foundation specialist. Mike was able to confirm Amys worries of a foundation issue. He let her know that the chimney was not built on the same foundation as the home and that made it even more at risk of having foundation issues. Mike was able to walk around the home and noticed some of the doors and windows sticking. Amy, like most homeowners had notice the doors sticking but she thought it was just because the home was old. Mike gave her an onsite estimation to have her issue not only repaired but to prevent it from ever coming back.

Once the job was finished we followed up with Amy and found that she was very happy with the work done on her home. She said that she felt a lot safer and could enjoy her dream home even more now!
