SmartPipe™ Crawl Space Drainage System
The First Custom-Engineered Drainage System for Crawl Spaces!
At APS Foundation, we understand the unique challenges homeowners face with crawl space moisture issues. Our SmartPipe™ Crawl Space Drainage System is specifically designed to address these concerns, ensuring your home’s structural integrity and your peace of mind.
- Custom Design for Superior Performance: Unlike generic drainage solutions, the SmartPipe™ system features holes on the top and front to effectively capture water from both the soil and the surface of your crawl space. Additionally, a special wall flange collects water from the crawl space walls and the footing/wall joint, providing comprehensive moisture management.
- Quick and Efficient Installation: We pride ourselves on our efficient installation process. Typically installed in a day or less, the SmartPipe™ system allows us to minimize disruption to your home. While one technician installs the drainage system, other team members can simultaneously work on encapsulating your crawl space, offering a seamless and swift solution.
- Protection Against Clogs and Failures: The SmartPipe™ system includes a special filter fabric material that covers all openings facing the dirt surface of your crawl space. This innovative design ensures that water can enter while preventing mud and other debris from causing clogs, thus maintaining reliable and efficient drainage.
Keeping Crawl Spaces Dry in Alabama
Unlike basements, leaks in crawl spaces can go unnoticed for months, or even years. This creates significant problems with rot and mold, leading to expensive repairs in the long term. APS Foundation understands the stress this can cause for homeowners and offers a solution to keep your crawl space dry and your home safe.
