Crawl Space Drainage Installation

Crawl space moisture often remains unnoticed until it causes significant damage, such as mold, structural issues, and musty odors.

JES Foundation Repair, serving Virginia, Washington, Maryland, DC, and Northeastern North Carolina, offers crawl space waterproofing solutions, including our AquaStop™ CrawlDrain™ system. Our crawl space encapsulation process addresses and prevents moisture-related issues, ensuring your home’s longevity. 

Crawl space drainage systems remove groundwater from beneath your home. They consist of a perforated pipe installed around the crawl space perimeter, which collects water and directs it to a sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water away from your foundation. Crawl space drainage installation is essential to our comprehensive approach to maintaining home health, including encapsulation, insulation, and dehumidification.

Crawl space drainage ensures your home remains healthy, dry, and mold-free. When you choose drainage installation from JES, you receive our patented CrawlDrain™ drainage system and over 20 years of industry expertise.

Waterproofing your crawl space is essential to prevent worsening drainage issues. JES Foundation Repair discourages DIY inspections or installations due to the complexity and potential dangers of crawl spaces. If you notice any of the signs mentioned, it’s crucial to contact professionals like us for a comprehensive inspection and expert installation. Drainage installation solutions, like CrawlDrain™, are vital to reducing damage and costs, contributing to long-term health and safety. Our waterproofing methods are integral to our whole-home approach, providing complete moisture protection. 

Protected Structural Integrity

Your home’s foundation is critical for structural stability. Moisture is a primary threat, causing wood rot, corrosion, and weakening foundation materials. Installing a crawl space drainage system prevents these risks by keeping the area dry and maintaining the integrity of your home’s structure.

Energy Efficiency 

An effective crawl space drainage system substantially improves your home’s energy efficiency. Moisture in crawl spaces increases indoor humidity, forcing heating and cooling systems to work harder to maintain comfort. By controlling moisture through proper drainage, you reduce HVAC system strain, leading to enhanced efficiency and potential energy savings.
