What To Do Immediately
- 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
- Keep receipts for any temporary pumps, fans, or emergency supplies you purchase
- Check the sump pump (if present) to see whether it is running, clogged, or has lost power
- Avoid entering the crawl space until you know the water is not electrically charged
What Not To Do
- Do not attempt to dry a large crawl space with a single box fan alone — professional drying equipment moves far more air
- Do not delay calling for help — mold can begin developing on wet wood and insulation within 24–48 hours
- Do not assume batt insulation can be saved once it has been soaked — it typically must be removed and replaced
- Do not walk on wet or soaked crawl space insulation, as it can conceal weakened flooring above
