What Can I Pair With Crawl Space Drainage Matting?

To get the best results from your drainage matting, you shouldn’t leave it to combat the issues your crawl space faces alone. When paired with other tools and equipment, it can better protect your crawl space. Here are a few to consider, which a local expert can easily install: 

Encapsulating Your Crawl Space 

The process of insulating and waterproofing your crawl space is known as crawl space encapsulation. Vapor barriers are one way to encapsulate your crawl space. Moist external air cannot enter the crawl space and condense on chilly crawl space surfaces because of the vapor barriers used in the encapsulation procedure. 

Water that seeps into crawl space floors and walls is collected by a waterproofing system and transported to a sump pump for automatic ejection outside your home. A 20mil CrawlSeal^TM Encapsulation, as well as a pipe and gravel drainage system and a SafeDri^TM Sump Pump, can aid in regulating moisture in the crawl space. 

CrawlDrain^TM System 

The CrawlDrain^TM is the best way to drain water without clogging or drain failure in a sandy crawl space. A unique filter cloth material is installed in the ports facing the soil surface of your crawl space that is built to allow water in while filtering mud and other obstructing materials out. 

Its unique design incorporates holes on the front and top sides to collect water from your crawl space’s surface. Water is also collected from the walls and the footing-wall junctions by a specialized wall flange. A CrawlDrain ^TM system can be installed in as little as a day.
