Crawl Space Drainage Matting Installation

Your home shouldn’t be standing on water but that’s what happens when water gets into your crawl space. Moisture control is essential for maintaining your home’s health and safety.
Drainage matting redirects water out of your crawl space and Foundation Recovery Systems can install it for you. We provide dependable crawl space encapsulation services in Missouri and surrounding areas.
What is Crawl Space Drainage Matting?

Crawl space drainage matting is a durable, dimpled mat positioned beneath your home to manage moisture.
