Detailed Crawl Space Water Removal Offerings in Shelby Township

Emergency Crawl Space Pump-Out

Fast pump-out protects joists, ductwork and the floors above from soaking any longer than necessary.

Crawl Space Insulation Replacement

New insulation is fitted snugly between the joists and supported so it does not sag onto the crawl space floor.

Crawl Space Dehumidification

Crawl space air stays damp after water removal. Dehumidifiers run until both humidity and wood readings are normal.

Crawl Space Water Extraction

Water under the house is pulled out with submersible pumps set at the low point, then extraction tools clear the barrier and corners.

Crawl Space Debris Removal

Contaminated debris from floodwater or a sewer leak is removed with protective gear and disposed of properly.

Sources of Water in Your Crawl Space

Washers, water heaters and dishwashers can leak through the floor into the crawl space.

Failed or Missing Vapor Barrier

A torn, loose or missing vapor barrier lets ground moisture rise into the framing.

Clogged or Inadequate Drain Tile

Drain tile around the foundation that is clogged or too small lets water build up.

Groundwater Seepage After Rain

Snowmelt and long wet spells raise groundwater, which seeps into the crawl space.
