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:
- Excavating a shallow trench along the crawl space or foundation interior.
- Placing the HydraWay drain system with proper slope to encourage water flow.
- Routing water to a discharge point or
sump pump system. - 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.
