HydraWay Drain System

HydraWay Drain System

The HydraWay Drain System is a high-performance waterproofing solution designed to move water away from your crawl space or foundation rapidly. Unlike traditional French drains that rely on gravel and perforated pipe, HydraWay uses a high-flow, clog-resistant core wrapped in a durable filter fabric. This allows it to capture and redirect water far more efficiently—making it ideal for pier and beam homes in Dallas–Fort Worth.

Brown Foundation Repair installs HydraWay in crawl spaces that experience standing water, repeated flooding, or chronic moisture issues that threaten beams, joists, and subfloor materials.

HydraWay also pairs well with crawl space encapsulation or dehumidification systems when a complete moisture solution is needed.

Why HydraWay Works So Well in DFW Crawl Spaces

North Texas clay soils hold water during heavy rains and stay saturated longer than other soil types. This trapped moisture can flow into crawl spaces, leading to:

  • Wood rot in beams and joists
  • Musty odors or fungal growth
  • Pest activity attracted to damp conditions
  • Uneven floors due to swollen subfloor materials
  • Long-term foundation settlement

HydraWay’s high-flow design helps relieve these issues by removing water before it can cause structural or moisture-related damage.

HydraWay vs. Traditional French Drains

  • Higher flow rate: Moves water much faster due to its open-core design.
  • Clog-resistant: Fabric prevents soil intrusion, unlike gravel systems.
  • Low profile: Easier to install in tight crawl spaces.
  • More durable: Designed for long-term performance with less maintenance.

Installation Process

Our installation includes:

  1. Excavating a shallow trench along the crawl space or foundation interior.
  2. Placing the HydraWay drain system with proper slope to encourage water flow.
  3. Routing water to a discharge point or
    sump pump system.
  4. Backfilling and protecting the drainage channel.

The result is a fast-acting drainage channel that helps keep the crawl space dry and stable year-round.

Major thanks to Lee for evaluating our home, preparing a budget-friendly quote and scheduling our foundation... repair. The crew arrived on time, Noe and Adan, answered our questions and offered information on what to expect after the work was completed. I am impressed by the care that was taken during this process: planning, working and clean up. I have already recommended Brown foundation repair to a family member.read more

Brown Foundation was fantastic. They saved our foundation (and wood flooring) from needing repair by... installing a proper drainage system around the house. It was pricy, but not nearly as pricy as the foundation/flooring repair would be five months down the road! Our supervisor Harold was great. He came out to our property several times to answer my many questions and make sure we were getting exactly what we needed. The work was neat and well-done. The only issue we had was not being told we needed electric work (it was on the estimate but not discussed, and we had to make a few calls to get it to happen) and the original placement of the pop-up valve was unwise (pooled water on the sidewalk instead of draining to the street). But any home project will have some bumps and miscommunications - the big difference is that Brown fixed these problems quickly and professionally. Wendell was especially helpful in fixing the back end of the project.Photos: note the muddy part of water pooling in our yard and into our foundation in the “before”, versus after.read more
