Comprehensive Crawl Space Water Removal for Whetstone
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.
Crawl Space Debris Removal
Debris on the vapor barrier holds water and odors. Clearing it lets the barrier and soil underneath dry.
Crawl Space Mold Prevention
After drying, joists and subfloor that were damp for days can be treated with an antimicrobial before insulation goes back.
Emergency Crawl Space Pump-Out
Help is available any hour when a crawl space floods from a burst pipe or storm. Pumps go in as soon as the area is safe.
Crawl Space Dehumidification
Dehumidifiers sized for crawl spaces bring humidity down so the joists, beams and subfloor can release the water they absorbed.
