What is Crawl Space Drainage?

Crawl space drainage installed by Ohio Basement Authority is unlike standard pipes; it is a 4-inch-thick corrugated and perforated pipe encapsulated within a silt sock.

When installed within a crawl space, it is placed in precision-dug trenches and surrounded by gravel. This acts as a filtration system, preventing clogging and ensuring smooth groundwater drainage to a sump pump system.

Along with crawl space encapsulation, insulation, and dehumidification, crawl space drainage works to maintain the structural integrity of your home by effectively managing the moisture levels in your crawl space.

Signs You Need Crawl Space Drainage

To ensure your home remains in top condition, it’s vital to quickly spot any signs of crawl space damage. Early detection reduces both the extent of the damage and repair costs, helping to keep your crawl space well-maintained.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs:

Musty odors coming from the crawl space
Increased humidity inside your home
Higher than normal energy bills
Mold growth
Standing water, dampness, or condensation
Leaks near open vents or around the perimeter
Insect or pest infestations
Structural wood rot or damage
Sagging floors

These signs indicate moisture problems that can lead to significant issues if left unchecked. Don’t hesitate to reach out to your local crawl space repair professionals for assistance when you notice these problems.
