What Is Crawl Space Drainage Matting?
Drainage matting is a sturdy, dimpled mat across your crawl space floor. Made from high-density polyethylene, it channels excess water to an interior perimeter drainage system and keeps your crawl space moisture-free.
Drainage matting preserves your home’s well-being when combined with other waterproofing methods like encapsulation and dehumidification. It also reinforces your crawl space floor and vapor barrier while providing more functional storage space.
