Crawl Space Water Extraction in Mount Lemmon, AZ

Professional Crawl Space Water Extraction in Mount Lemmon, AZ

Groundwater in Mount Lemmon crawl spaces often rises through the soil after long wet spells, even without a single big flood. A damaged or missing vapor barrier lets that moisture straight into the framing.

In Mount Lemmon, Summerhaven, Catalina and Saddlebrooke, crawl spaces with old or missing barriers stay damp long after storms. The pros dry the space and repair or install the barrier.

Detailed Crawl Space Water Extraction for Mount Lemmon Properties

Crawl Space Mud Removal

Floodwater debris such as leaves, trash and loose insulation is bagged and removed along with the mud.

Crawl Space Insulation Removal

Insulation batts that soaked up water are pulled from between the joists, bagged and taken out of the crawl space.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Repair

Water trapped on top of the barrier is extracted first, then the barrier is lifted, the soil below is checked and damaged sections are replaced.

Crawl Space Moisture Barrier Installation

A barrier is installed only after the crawl space is dry, so moisture is not trapped under the new plastic.

Fast pumping and drying are the main ways to limit microbial growth under the house. Treatment is an added step for wood that stayed damp.
