How do you get moisture out of a crawl space?

To get moisture out, it’s not enough to close the crawl space vents. You also need to make sure moisture and humidity are removed to avoid damage like mold and wood rot. 

This can be accomplished with professionally engineered and installed crawl space solutions.  Here’s how it works: 

• Drainage Matting: Placed on the floor to help move water to perimeter drains. 

• Interior Drains: Capture leaking water around the perimeter and direct it to a sump pump. 
• Sump Pump: Collects water and moves it up and out of the crawl space, and away from the home. 
• Dehumidifiers: Suck humid air out of the crawl space, convert it to water, and direct it to a sump pump to drain out. 
• Vapor Barriers: Cover crawl space walls and floor to prevent moisture intrusion.
