Crawl Space Drainage Installation

What is Crawl Space Drainage? 

Crawl space drainage refers to a system designed to redirect and remove water away from your home’s foundation. As water enters this below-grade space, whether through flooding, plumbing leaks, or ground moisture, specialized drainage directs it to designated collection points. 

Perforated pipes are placed in the dirt crawl space floor to gather leaking and pooling water. The water then flows through the pipes to a sump pump system located at the lowest point of the crawl space. The sump pump discharges the water outside through underground pipes, away from your home’s foundation. 

Drainage is a critical part of addressing moisture issues and waterproofing your crawl space. By immediately diverting water, it prevents flooding, standing water damage, and high humidity levels that enable mold growth.

What Are the Benefits of Crawl Space Drainage? 

Waterproofing your crawl space with interior drainage and full encapsulation offers numerous advantages: 

• Eliminates Moisture and Humidity: Our drainage pipes instantly redirect water to a sump pump for discharge outside your home. This eliminates pooling and humidity that leads to wood rot and mold growth. Encapsulation seals the crawl space, blocking moisture at the source. 
• Protects Home Structure and Systems: Drainage and encapsulation preserve the integrity of your entire home for the long term by keeping moisture away from wooden supports, insulation, and HVAC systems. 
• Improves Air Quality: Encapsulation seals out dampness, mold spores, radon, and other soil gases that can permeate floorboards and reduce indoor air quality. Enjoy cleaner household air and fewer allergies. 
• Increases Energy Efficiency: A dry, encapsulated crawl space prevents temperature extremes and uncomfortable drafts in your home, decreasing energy usage. 
• Discourages Pests: Encapsulation makes pest access difficult, while moisture control makes your home less inviting for termites, ants, and other unwelcome critters. 
• Safeguards Investment: Proper crawl space maintenance preserves your most valuable investment. Home buyers know a protected crawl space means the home was well cared for.
