Question 1

How do I know if my crawlspace needs drainage?

Accepted Answer

Standing water, recurring puddles, saturated soil, water stains, or visible signs of groundwater entering the crawlspace can indicate that a drainage system may be needed.

Question 2

How does an interior crawlspace drainage system work?

Accepted Answer

A drainage system is installed along designated areas of the crawlspace to collect groundwater and direct it toward a sump basin. The sump pump then removes the collected water and discharges it away from the home.

Question 3

Does every crawlspace drainage system need a sump pump?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the property and where the collected water can be safely discharged. Many interior crawlspace drainage systems use a sump pump to actively remove water from beneath the home.

Question 4

How can crawlspace drainage help protect my foundation?

Accepted Answer

Excess water around and beneath a home can contribute to saturated soil, erosion, and changing soil conditions around the foundation. Proper drainage helps collect and redirect water, reducing prolonged water exposure around the home.

Question 5

Should I encapsulate my crawlspace after installing drainage?

Accepted Answer

Drainage addresses liquid water, while encapsulation helps control ground moisture and humidity. Depending on the conditions beneath your home, both systems may be recommended for more complete moisture control.

Question 6

Does AquaShield's crawlspace drainage system have a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Applicable AquaShield interior crawlspace drainage systems include a Lifetime Limited Warranty. Sump pump equipment and other components may carry separate warranty coverage. Complete terms and exclusions are provided with your proposal.
