Kingstreet – Apartment Building Crawl Space Drainage System

This 4-storey walk up apartment building had a 4-foot high crawlspace that had a severe water problem. The on-going water issue had been left un-remediated and severe mold growth on the wood floor system resulted.

PROJECT GOALS

Install an engineered drainage system in crawlspace
Install 2000 lineal feet of interior weeping tile
Install 6 sump systems
Install sump monitoring system with alarms

OUR APPROACH

All mold was remediated by a remediation professional prior to our project.
A consulting company along with a mechanical engineering firm designed a complicated internal weeping tile system of approximately 2000 lineal feet in length that drained into 6 sump systems.
Each sump system was connected to an exterior storm sewer and monitored by a control panel and alarm system.
We helped design the project to make it more practical to install. One of the items we came up with was access in and out of a cut-out in the perimeter foundation in two locations. Prior to that, access was to be through a crawlspace floor hatch and down a hallway. The client was happy to not have disruption and mess in the hallways.
We had a crew of 12 men and one full-time superintendent complete the project on budget and ahead of schedule in 3 weeks time.
Crawlspace was monitored for a period of 3 years as part of our contract with no re-occurring water issue.
