Crawl space moisture often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. Installing a professional crawl space drainage system protects the area and prevents water damage.

Alpha Foundations provides a leading solution for local homeowners in Florida and Georgia. Our AquaStop™ CrawlDrain™ drainage system eliminates moisture and protects your home from its harmful effects. Explore how crawl space drainage integrates with our comprehensive crawl space encapsulation system to safeguard your most valuable asset.

What is a Crawl Space Drainage System?

Crawl space drainage systems manage crawl space moisture. These systems typically include a 4-inch corrugated and perforated pipe, often encased in a silt sock to prevent clogging.

This pipe is installed in trenches dug along the perimeter of the crawl space and then covered with gravel. When water enters the pipe, it is directed toward a sump pump system, which removes the water from the crawl space.

When combined with other solutions, like thermal insulation and dehumidifiers, crawl space drainage manages moisture and improves indoor air quality. Working with Alpha Foundations for crawl space drainage installation gives you superior, long-term coverage.

These signs point to moisture issues that, if ignored, can lead to severe complications. Water in your crawl space is concerning and will not resolve itself.

Is Crawl Space Drainage Necessary? 

Crawl space drainage is crucial, as ignoring moisture problems can lead to water pooling beneath the home, causing significant damage. DIY drainage installation is often ineffective, and attempting crawl space repairs yourself is not recommended due to potential risks.

    Crawl Space Drainage Installation FAQs

    Alpha Foundation’s drainage systems are very thorough and will completely waterproof your Tampa home from any moisture that tries to seep through. We can offer your home either an interior or an exterior drainage system. As their names imply, these systems are installed along the interior and exterior of your home respectively.

    The interior drainage system is installed in the floor and along the walls of your crawl space, which is where most water tends to gather when it floods. The exterior drainage system will be installed along the outside perimeter of your home and will collect any water that gathers out here instead. An interior drainage system will then redirect this water to the sump pump, which in turn will deposit this water out into a nearby storm drain or other drainage trench far away from your home.

    An exterior drainage system can benefit your home, as well. Rather than relying on a storm drain far from your home, exterior drains redirect water out onto your lawn. The cap over the drain prevents water from spilling back in and flooding your home. These systems are also guaranteed to never clog. Should any mud, dirt, or other debris flow inside, these drainage systems will then push it out along with any excess water that tries to get into your home.

    It’s a good idea to inspect your crawl space regularly, especially after heavy rainfall. How often will depend on your specific situation, but as a general rule, checking at least once a season is a good practice.
