Quickly resolving poor crawl space drainage is crucial to prevent mold, pests, foul odors, and structural damage in your home.
Unfortunately, DIY fixes won’t solve drainage problems, and entering your crawl space is unsafe. You need a professional crawl space encapsulation system that goes far beyond the standard offerings found in hardware stores.
Groundworks has the solution. Our crawl space drainage matting tackles current and future water issues, enhances indoor air quality, and supports your home’s structural integrity. Learn more below.
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.
Signs You Need Crawl Space Drainage Matting
You will benefit from crawl space drainage matting if you experience any of these problems:
- Pooling or flooding water
- Wet insulation
- Musty smells
- High humidity
These signs indicate excessive moisture or drainage problems in your crawl space, so contact a professional like Groundworks as soon as possible.

Yes, drainage matting prevents foundational damage that would otherwise threaten your family’s safety. Additionally, ignoring crawl space drainage issues will likely lead to even more expensive repairs in the future.
