What Are the Best Drainage Solutions for a Crawl Space?

Because of their humid climate, most cities in the area get a lot of rain and flooding. Thunderstorms and sustained rains make it difficult for foundations to stay dry, which is why a good drainage system is crucial. 

Perimeter Drainage System 

A perimeter drain is a pipe is installed around the perimeter of your crawl space. It collects water and directs it to the sump pump where it can be removed.

Crawl Space Sump Pump 

A sump pump takes any water that flows into the crawl space and pumps it out and away from your home. You may want to consider a battery backup pump, in the case of a power outage.
