SmartDrain Crawl Space Drain

Even in crawl spaces that never have any groundwater leakage, there is still the risk of a plumbing leak.  Because a homeowner will rarely enter the crawl space, a plumbing leak can go undetected for months as it saturates the earth underneath the home.  In a dirt crawl space, this may just mean a burden on your utility bills, but with an encapsulated crawl space, the space can fill up like a swimming pool!  If you have a plumbing leak or other crawl space water leakage in the space, you'll definitely want to know right away.

One good solution to this is to install a reliable crawl space sump pump like Basement System's SmartSump.  This can collect water both from plumbing leaks in the home as well as sudden groundwater problems beneath the liner.  It's the best and most effective solution. However, in a crawl space that has never had any leakage at all, the homeowner may opt against the additional expense.

For homeowners who would like to be protected against potential unexpected plumbing leaks in the crawl space but do not feel ready to install an entire crawl space sump pump system, they may want to consider the SmartDrain Crawl Space Drain and Plumbing Leak System.  It can install within your CleanSpace Crawl Space Vapor Barrier seamlessly to ensure that your crawl space encapsulation is complete.  Any water that enters the space can be directed towards the drain, where it enters a special ball-and-cup design and is drained beneath the space into a bed of gravel that allows the water to flow into a dry well and seep into the soil below.

To alert the homeowner of a water problem, each SmartDrain is also equipped with a WaterWatch alarm system.  This system detects water as it enters the drain and sounds off to alert the homeowner of the problem right away.  This way, the homeowner is able to address this issue before it becomes a potentially serious problem.  Protect your investment by keeping your crawlspace protected and moisture free all the time!  Click here for a free estimate on a crawl space encapsulation!
