Crawl Space Drainage in Fredericksburg, Fairfax, Alexandria and Arlington
Proper drainage is crucial in removing any standing water in your crawl space. Proper drainage will help prevent water damage as well as the formation of mold and mildew. Pests such as spiders, silverfish, rodents and termites are drawn to moisture, so proper drainage can also prevent these pests from becoming present in your home.
Crawl Space Sump Pumps
Sump Pumps are one of the most crucial parts of crawl space drainage. Sump pumps are a system that automatically detects the level of groundwater in your crawl space and will pump the water away from the house.
Summit Crawl Spaces offers the best sump pumps on the market, so when you call Summit, you know you’re getting the best. Summit also offers an option for a battery backup for your sump pump.
Adding a battery backup to your sump pump can help keep it functioning even if your power goes out. This is a great feature to have, as heavy flooding from rain storms can often be accompanied by power outages. With a battery backup, your sump pump can keep functioning normally, keeping the water from damaging your crawl space.
Sump Pumps are the heart of your crawl space waterproofing system, so always go for the best and hire Summit.
Crawl Space Drainage System
There are a few different components of the crawl space drainage system. We typically install an interior French drain system around the perimeter of the crawl space or the affected area. A French drain is a trench-like pipe that allows water to flow into a sump pump basin, where the sump pump discharges the water outside of the crawl space. The trench around the perimeter of the crawl space is called the perimeter drain, and the line that discharges the water out of the crawl space where it can empty outside of the house is known as the discharge line. The discharge line terminates at the drain box, typically on the edge of the property.

Crawl Space Drainage Matting
Crawl space drainage matting is made out of a dimpled material and helps direct standing water to the sump pump and perimeter drain in a crawl space. The drainage matting is resistant to water damage, helps prolong the life of the vapor barrier and the sump pump lining, and is one of the most effective tools for crawl space drainage. Summit Crawl Spaces offers installation of crawl space drainage matting as part of our crawl space encapsulation service.
