Crawlspace Drainage Systems in Mid-Michigan

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 Installation

Crawlspace drainage channels intercept groundwater before it saturates the crawlspace, creating the dry environment needed for encapsulation.

Drainage First: Then 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.

  • Routes water to sump pit for pump removal

Frequently Asked Questions

Is crawlspace drainage the same as interior basement drainage?

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.

Will drainage channels affect my crawlspace height?

Drainage channels add minimal height, typically less than 2 inches. We design systems that minimize impact on your crawlspace clearance.

Do I need a sump pump with crawlspace drainage?

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.

Can drainage channels be installed in a dirt crawlspace?

Yes, crawlspace drainage channels can be installed in dirt-floor crawlspaces. In fact, this is the most common crawlspace type in Mid-Michigan.
