💦 Drainage Systems

Water in your crawl space is more than just an inconvenience—it’s a serious threat to your home’s foundation, air quality, and structural integrity. At Crawlspace Doctor Bloomington, we design customized drainage solutions to keep your crawl space dry, protected, and functioning properly year-round.

Why Drainage Matters

Standing water, excess humidity, and poor soil drainage can lead to costly and dangerous problems, including:

  • Mold and mildew growth
  • Wood rot and structural damage
  • Pest infestations
  • Increased energy bills
  • Health concerns due to poor air quality

That’s why effective drainage is often the first step toward a clean, dry, and healthy crawl space.

Our Drainage System Solutions

⚙️ French Drains (Perimeter Drainage)

Installed along the interior perimeter of your crawl space to collect and redirect water before it becomes a problem.

⚙️ Sump Pump Systems

We install high-capacity sump pumps—often with battery backup—to actively remove collected water and keep your crawl space dry even during heavy rainfall.

⚙️ Drainage Matting

Durable plastic matting is placed beneath vapor barriers to channel moisture toward your sump pump or drain lines.

⚙️ Drain Tile & Gravel Trenches

Interior or exterior drain tile systems guide water away from your foundation, reducing hydrostatic pressure on crawl space walls.

Every system is carefully designed based on your home’s soil, structure, and water exposure.
