Crawl Space Drainage Matting, Explained

A crawl space drainage mat helps you manage moisture in your property. We can place one of these durable, dimpled mats underneath your home to expel unwanted water and safeguard your foundation.

Drainage mats are made from high-density polyethylene and divert water from your crawl space to a drainage system. When used with crawl space encapsulation, dehumidification, and other waterproofing methods, these mats can prevent water intrusion issues and improve air quality in your home. A drainage mat also strengthens the floor, making it easier to store and access your belongings.

Signs You Need Crawl Space Drainage Matting

Consider a drainage mat for your crawl space if you notice any of these problems:

• Standing or Flooding Water 
• Condensation on Pipes 
• Damp insulation 
• Musty Smells
• Mold
• Pest Problems
• Unusually High Energy Bills 
• High Humidity
• Rotting Wooden Structures

These symptoms suggest your home has underlying moisture or drainage issues.

Crawl Space Drainage Matting Benefits

Advantages of installing a crawl space drainage mat include:

• Better moisture control: Drainage matting draws water from your home’s foundation, safeguarding it from moisture damage.
