CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE · BASEMENT FLOOD CLEANUP
“They were prompt, kind, and understanding.”
Under the building or inside it
Water in a crawl space is out of sight. Signs can include a musty smell or a soft floor. Both problems can be happening at the same time.
Tell us which living areas and crawl-space areas are affected. The assessment will determine a safe order for the work. The crawl space still has to be dealt with, or the rooms above can stay damp.
How to describe a wet crawl space without going in
Do not climb into a crawl space that has standing water. Wiring, ducts and equipment are often under there. The CDC says never to turn power on or off yourself or use an electric tool or appliance while standing in water.
You can still give us useful information from the outside. Look from the access hatch or a vent opening with a battery flashlight, and keep your feet on dry ground.
- Can you see standing water, and roughly how much of the floor it covers?
- Is insulation hanging down or lying on the ground?
- Do you hear running or dripping water?
- Is there a furnace, duct run, water heater or wiring in the space?
- Does the air smell musty or like sewage?
Why a damp crawl space matters upstairs
The EPA says crawl spaces where relative humidity is high are common sites of hidden mold growth. It also says moisture can pass from a crawl space into a building through cracks in walls, floors and ceilings.
So rooms above a wet crawl space can feel fine and still be taking on moisture. We check floors and the base of walls with moisture readings, then plan drying for both the crawl space and the living area. If mold is suspected, we can explain mold remediation as a separate step.
Water in the rooms you use
Keep clear of water around outlets, cords and appliances. From a safe, dry location, photograph affected rooms and describe the source if you know it. Extraction and drying should follow an assessment of the water, hazards and wet materials.
Floors react differently. Hardwood can cup, carpet and pad hold water, and laminate can swell at the seams. We explain what can be dried and what is likely to need repair planning. We can help you document what happened for an insurance claim, and your insurer decides coverage.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers before you call.
Can you tell how bad a crawl space is from a description?
A description and photos from the hatch help us plan, but they do not replace a technician looking with the right gear. We will tell you what we need to see and what you should leave alone.
