Interior drainage channels installed in your crawlspace collect groundwater and route it to a sump pump for removal, the foundation of a dry, healthy crawlspace.
Crawlspace drainage channels intercept groundwater before it saturates the crawlspace, creating the dry environment needed for encapsulation.
Trying to encapsulate a wet crawlspace without addressing drainage first creates problems. The vapor barrier traps water beneath it, promoting mold and continued structural damage. Proper sequence: drainage first, then encapsulation.
Our crawlspace drainage systems use perforated pipe installed along the crawlspace perimeter, routed to a sump pit. Combined with encapsulation and a reliable sump pump, this creates a permanently dry crawlspace.
The principles are similar, but crawlspace drainage systems are designed for the low-clearance environment and soil conditions of a crawlspace. We design each system for the specific geometry and water source of your crawlspace.
Drainage channels add minimal height, typically less than 2 inches. We design systems that minimize impact on your crawlspace clearance.
Yes, drainage channels collect water and route it to a sump pit, which requires a pump to remove the water from your home. We typically install the drainage and sump pump as a complete system.
Yes, crawlspace drainage channels can be installed in dirt-floor crawlspaces. In fact, this is the most common crawlspace type in Mid-Michigan.
