Flooded Crawlsapce

It’s never a good thing to discover standing water in your crawlspace. Water can enter a crawl space in a variety of ways, though there are some common causes to be aware of. Some common causes include: Cracks in the walls, floors, or mortar joints, sweating walls (condensation), a bursting pipe or leak, surface water flooding.

In this home we pumped standing water out with a sump pump. We then cleared the area of debris wet materials. Moisture was removed from the crawl space materials and surfaces. This means dry out wood framing, subfloor overhead, and the crawl space floor surface. Before placing a vapor barrier an absorbent material was spread.
