"The crawlspace of our house we purchased about a year ago was damp and often had standing water in it.  Because the house is near a lake, the water table is very high and water is not uncommon.  Unfortunately, all the standing water drove the humidity of the house very high to the 60s and 70s year round!
I contacted Stay Dry to give me an estimate along with another provider.  Wayne from Stay Dry provide me with great information about the problem and how it could be solved.  The cost of doing this work is not cheap, but the risk of damage to the structure of our home is what convinced me to move forward.  In the winter, the window would have a great deal of condensation around them which isn't good for them either.  The cost was on par with the other provide I met with, but this solution seemed more complete.
The work took about four days to complete.  Stay Dry sent a great crew of five men, led by Spencer, who made residence in the three foot high crawl space for the next four days.  First they lined the carpet and walls with protective materials.  The entrance to the crawl space was in one of the bedroom, down a hall of white carpeting.  Once lined the work began by clearing out all of the fallen insulation and any other random debris from down below.  Next all of the wires were cleaned up and tidied up.  All the debris had to be carried out in five gallon buckets through the house as there isn't external access to the space.
Next, they dug by hand a 110 feet of trench, lined it with fabric and then stone (stone was carried in a five gallon bucket at a time) and finally the drainage pipe itself.  Once that was complete the entire space was lined with and sealed with a heavy duty liner (think swimming pool liner material).  The crawlspace was unbelievably clean when they were finished.  The liner is white so instead of dark sandy/mud floor, it was white liner.  No more rain boots to go down in the space.  The sumps were installed and set to drain to the exterior of the house.  
The pumps that were installed have a battery back up as well as a system that will text me if there is a problem with the pumps.  It also tells me the amount of water that is pumped out of the space each day.  I am floored by how much it pumps!
When the work was done in January, it was too cold to do the final part of the job which was to foam the rim joists.  The crew came back in April once it warmed up and completed the rest of the work.
Humidity in the house has dropped to the mid-30% range.  The crawl space is actually usable for storage and going down there for wiring or mechanical work is a breeze. Once all of the protective materials were removed from the carpet and walls, everything was spotless.  Everything was in the exact same shape as before the project.
The crew worked incredibly hard in what are not desirable conditions.  The solution did everything I wanted it to do and everything Wayne said it would do.  It is not inexpensive, but for the interior of our house and the overall health of our house, it was well worth it.
While I hope I don't have to ever do this project again, I would use Stay Dry again if I did.

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

If you notice water leaking down the side of the bowl or tank and you don’t notice any cracks in the porcelain, the odds are that it’s condensation. If you notice water around the base of the toilet, this points to a leak. Check for loose bolts. A sewage odor may also indicate a broken toilet flange.

If you live in a place with cold weather, you can winterize your outdoor spigot whenever you finish using your hose for the year. Start by disconnecting and draining your hose, then store it until springtime. Next, close your water shut-off valve and open the bleeder cap, releasing any water inside, and open the outdoor faucet to get rid of any excess water in the fixture. Finally, put an outdoor faucet cover over your spigot until the weather warms up again.

To file a claim against a plumber, you’ll need to contact their liability insurance company. You can ask your plumber for information about their insurer, or you can refer to the documentation you collected before you hired them. Let the company know you need to file a claim, and they’ll provide you with the next steps. Alternatively, you can ask your homeowner’s insurance company to help you file.

To keep your plumbing vents from freezing, start by insulating your pipes with foam or fiberglass sleeves to help maintain their temperature. For an extra layer of security, use heat tape, which acts as a personal heater to keep your pipes warm even when temperatures drop. Additionally, you should regularly check your vent cap to make sure it’s free from leaves and debris that can block the airflow. A clean, unobstructed vent cap is crucial for maintaining proper ventilation that will keep your plumbing vents from freezing and the plumbing system running smoothly.

Water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit, but the actual temperature that can cause frozen pipes can vary. Generally, it takes 12 hours for pipes to freeze at 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Uninsulated pipes can freeze if it’s 20 degrees Fahrenheit or colder for over three hours. If your pipes are insulated, it can take six hours or longer for pipes to freeze. Note that some pipe types freeze more often than PEX pipes. Copper pipes freeze more often because the copper conducts energy and loses heat quickly.
