Crawl Spaces
Sump Pump Installation
A sump pump protects homes in low-lying areas — especially where basements and crawl spaces accumulate large amounts of water every time it rains.
When installed properly, a sump pump system protects your home from flooding and from moisture that accumulates over time. The pump sits in the lowest area under the home and pumps water outside the foundation walls or into your home's existing drainage system. It typically works alongside a sump pit, and often pairs with a French drain system that directs water to the drainage basin where the pump can move it out.
It's critical for a sump pump to keep working — if it fails, the sump pit can overflow and cause serious damage to your home's foundation. That's why a backup power supply matters: if the primary power to the pump fails or is out for an extended period, a battery backup keeps the pump running on battery power until power is restored.

- Sump pump installation — collects water and pumps it from the crawl space outside the foundation walls.

Frequently Asked Questions
Encapsulation and vapor barriers manage moisture vapor and humidity, but they aren't designed to handle bulk water — standing water from heavy rain or a high water table still needs somewhere to go. If your crawl space takes on actual water, not just dampness, a sump pump is the right tool alongside encapsulation, not instead of it.

“Rob and his crew are super. I had a very big project to renovate a 130-year old farmhouse. They worked diligently to put in new piers, new girders, and new joists. Then they also help to fix some frames and add subfloor. This allowed me to move on. Really enjoyed working with Rob.”

“Very professional! They carried out their task while going the extra mile. It was obvious to me that quality is of great importance. They left it better than they found it. I would recommend them to my greatest of friends and family.”

“After having some minor flooding issues, we contacted Triangle Reconstruction and they were amazing in their ability to identify the issues and the best way to address it. What was most impressive was the team that came out and did the work. They were probably the most professional and organized crew we've ever seen work on our house. Brian, our rep, and Rob, the owner, regularly checked in on their work and kept us updated on the progress. I hope I never have to deal with flooding issues again, but if I do, I'll call Triangle Reconstruction again.”
