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?

Installation process of 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.

Is Drainage Matting Necessary for Homes in Alberta?

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.

Cory came to my house, thoroughly evaluated the situation, explained the options to me, and patiently answered all of my questions. He is amazing. There was a crack in my basement wall that needed to be repaired. Paul (I think) did a good and clean Job. The repair was scheduled and completed exactly as was described to me. Great team! I’d definitely recommend this company to others.

Excellent service. Sales was pleasant and quote was thorough enough to proceed. The crew that came out to excavate, and install the interior and exterior basement systems was absolutely top notch – their work was neat and tidy, they showed up on time, and worked hard. To top it off, they (and all the folks involved) have to be the most pleasant contractors I’ve ever dealt with – and this is house #5 for us over the years! Thank you, Basement Authority. Highly recommend.

Yesterday we had our sump pump service by Ben and was very pleased with the work. He was knowledgeable and took care in his work. He was very friendly and explained what he was going to do. Very good at his job and we’ll ask for him if we need any work done in the future.
