Drain Systems for Crawl Space Waterproofing

In some cases, waterproofing a crawl space is only part of the solution. The other piece of the puzzle is a crawl space drainage system.

Your home may require drainage to prevent water from saturating the soil surrounding your crawl space, which will significantly decrease the likelihood of moisture issues. Therefore, effectively managing groundwater through proper drainage is essential for waterproofing.

A well-functioning drainage system will keep your crawl space waterproof, even in the stormiest weather.

Do You Need a Drainage System to Waterproof a Crawl Space?

You may think that a wet crawl space is harmless. However, it can lead to mold growth. And because the air from your crawl space becomes the air you breathe in your home, you are essentially breathing in mold spores. This can cause allergies and serious respiratory issues for you and your family.

Additionally, mold will weaken the beams and other supports in your crawl space, thus affecting your home’s integrity.

Crawl space waterproofing protects your home and well as your health.

What are the Different Crawl Space Waterproofing Drainage Systems?

French Drains

One of our favorite methods of crawl space waterproofing, french drains are trenches filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that collect and redirect water away from the crawl space.

Interior Drain Tile

These consist of perforated pipes installed along the interior perimeter of the crawl space. They collect water that seems through the walls or floor and direct it towards a sump pump.

Sump Pump

We install sump pumps in a pit or a sump basin within the crawl space. They collect water from the interior drain tile systems and pump it out of the crawl space to prevent flooding.

Exterior Drainage

A simple and cost-effective crawl space waterproofing fix is to take a look at your exterior drainage. Clogged gutters can overflow and soak the soil around your foundation. Downspouts should channel water at least 10 feet away from your foundation.

We did an Interior Waterproofing Drain System for my mom's home. I think what sold us to Basement Masters Waterproofing was their lifetime guarantee and the fact that we met "with the owner on the estimate, he did not rush or pressure us and he also contacted me several times during the construction for updates. How often do you get to work with the boss directly!"

"Basement Masters Waterproofing did an excellent job installing drain tile in my basement. I have had a lot of difficulty finding reliable, trustworthy contractors in Northern Virginia. They identified the problem and fixed it on time and well within my budget."

"The installers of the French drain were very professional, arriving on time and finishing on time. They cleaned up the job site after they were finished. I'm a realtor and will recommend them to my customers who have water problems in their basement."
