What To Do Immediately
- Avoid entering the crawl space until you know the water is not electrically charged
- Run a portable fan near the crawl space access point if it is safe, to begin air circulation
- Turn off electricity to the crawl space if water is near outlets, junction boxes, or the panel
- Take photos and videos of standing water, wet insulation, and any visible mold for insurance documentation
- Keep receipts for any temporary pumps, fans, or emergency supplies you purchase
What Not To Do
- Do not run electrical equipment inside a crawl space that still has standing water
- Do not delay calling for help — mold can begin developing on wet wood and insulation within 24–48 hours
- Do not seal a vapor barrier over ground moisture without addressing the underlying water source first
- Do not walk on wet or soaked crawl space insulation, as it can conceal weakened flooring above

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do while waiting for a crawl space restoration crew to arrive?
If it's safe, shut off the water source, avoid entering the crawl space near electrical hazards, and take photos of the standing water or wet insulation.
