When a crawl space floods, the water sits right under your floors. In Hermosa Beach, storm water, groundwater or a burst pipe can fill a crawl space with water and mud, soaking insulation and the wood that holds up the house.

Drying is aimed at the wood framing, since that is what supports the floors and what stays wet longest.
