Fiberglass batts between floor joists soak up water and sag. Wet insulation is pulled down, bagged and removed so the wood can dry.

Dehumidifiers sized for the crawl space pull moisture from the air so the wood framing can dry evenly.

Crawl Space Water Extraction

Standing water in a crawl space is pumped out from the lowest point, then wet soil and debris on the vapor barrier are cleared.

Crawl space drying can take longer than drying a room, since the space is tight, damp and close to the ground.

Foundation Water Damage Repair

Water seeping through the foundation into the crawl space is removed, and the framing it reached is dried.
