Crawl Space Drainage Installation

Crawl space drainage helps move water that has entered a crawl space perimeter quickly to the sump pump to be pushed back out of the home. Crawl space drainage can keep water out of your crawl space to help prevent mold growth and musty odors. AFS offers CrawlDrain™, a state-of-the-art drainage technology.

CrawlDrain™ is not just any pipe— it’s is a 4-inch corrugated and perforated pipe, wrapped in a silt sock. This setup acts as a filter, preventing blockages and facilitating the smooth flow of groundwater to a sump pump system. 

CrawlDrain™ is a tailored drainage solution designed for crawl spaces. Combined with other crawl space tools like thermal insulation and a dehumidifier, CrawlDrain™ helps to control moisture levels in your crawl space.  

Be alert for these signs, which suggest your crawl space may have drainage issues leading to water accumulation: 

• Wet crawl space insulation 
• Standing water in the crawl space 
• Pests in the crawl space
• Wood rot 
• Mold growth 
• High energy bills 
• Sagging floors  

All of these symptoms point to moisture issues that can cause serious problems if ignored. Water of any kind of your crawl space is never a good sign and it won’t fix itself! 

When combined with other crawl space encapsulation essentials, crawl space drainage offers numerous advantages: 

• Better Air Quality: Reducing moisture minimizes musty smells, leading to fresher indoor air.
