Removing standing water first lets air reach the joists, subfloor and insulation so drying can start.

Crawl Space Dehumidification

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

Crawl Space Mold Prevention

After drying, an antimicrobial can be applied to joists and subfloor that were damp for days.

Foundation Water Damage Repair

Cracks and seepage points in the foundation are photographed and noted for a foundation or waterproofing contractor.
