Crawl Space Waterproofing

Building scientists and other building experts recommend that crawl spaces be sealed or encapsulated. This upgrade makes buildings more energy efficient and eliminates problems with moisture, mold and pests in the crawl space. Some crawl spaces also need to be waterproofed.

How do I know if my crawl space needs waterproofing?

There are several signs that indicate a waterproofing system may be necessary in a crawl space. One obvious sign is standing water on the crawl space floor. If the crawl space has a dirt floor, wet soil can also indicate that a waterproofing system should be installed.

What features are included in a crawl space waterproofing system?

If your crawl space needs waterproofing, the complete system is likely to include some or all of the crawl space repair solutions described below:  

• Perimeter drains. Perimeter drain pipe is designed to capture crawl space wall and floor seepage.

• Sump pump. SOKY Crawl Solutions provide the best-performing sump pump systems available.
• Dehumidifier. A heavy-duty dehumidifier from SOKY Crawl Solutions will dry out a damp crawl space and automatically maintain a pre-set humidity level. By controlling crawl space humidity, you create conditions that are hostile to mold and mildew

Crawl space waterproofing can be completed as part of crawl space encapsulation or independently of it. Whichever option you choose, you’re sure to get the best performance and best value from SOKY Crawl Solutions.
