We Can Make Your Crawl Space Drain!
Prevent Water in Crawl Space
Water under your home is the enemy of your home. Ignoring it can lead to long-term property damage. That is why we offer our crawl space drainage systems for making your crawl space completely dry!
What we offer in our crawlspace drainage system package:
- French Drain - The french drain is essentially a drainage pipe with drainage aggregate designed to carry excess water from the edge of the foundation to the low point of the crawlspace.
- Sump Pump - The sump pump is a submersible water pump that sits at the lowest point in your crawlspace and senses increasing water levels in a basin. Once it senses enough water, it will pump the excess water out of the crawl space in a discharge line.
- Crawl Space Dehumidifier - Removing the standing water in your crawl space is great, but our crawl space drainage system also prevents water that can be found in the crawl space's air. Our favorite dehumidifier for Northeast Alabama humid climate is the Santa Fe Dehumidifier. Even the smaller dehumidifier will amazingly remove up to 8.75 gallons of water per day. This prevents condensation on surfaces in your crawl space, a common cause of mold and dry rot.
- Encapsulation vapor barrier - prevents the water vapor in the soil below a home from rising up into the air space below a home. It is a critical element of what we do here at American Crawlspace, LLC. The vapor barrier is a polyethylene plastic that is extremely durable and thick (depends on the mil that you order) We lay this crawl space material over the soil, and up the piers & exterior foundation wall.

Standing Water in Crawlspace in North Alabama
First of all, you do not need to neglect water in your crawl space. It will not go away on its own. Look for the source of water infiltration. If it is a simple water leak, fix it. Otherwise, you are getting water generally from outside your foundation via grading issues, overflowing gutters, or rising groundwater. Saturated soils after rains are usually the culprit, so it is good to check for this kind of issue in the rainy season or after a big rain.

Standing water in a crawl space is bad for many reasons. It can fill the pores in the concrete over time and cause the concrete to break down. Standing water also releases water vapor in the crawl space air leading to issues like energy loss, mold, & structural rot. Standing water can also attract pests like cockroaches, termites, rodents, and even larger animals like raccoons, or even worse skunks!
