Crawl Space Dehumidification
Dehumidifiers sized for crawl spaces bring humidity down so the joists, beams and subfloor can release the water they absorbed.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Repair
Water sitting on top of the barrier is extracted, then the barrier is lifted so the soil underneath can be checked and dried.
Crawl Space Mold Prevention
After drying, joists and subfloor that were damp for days can be treated with an antimicrobial before insulation goes back.
Crawl Space Water Extraction
The crawl space is entered only after power near the water is made safe. Then pumps run until no standing water remains.
Emergency Crawl Space Pump-Out
Fast pump-out protects joists, ductwork and the floors above from soaking any longer than necessary.
