What To Do Immediately
- Turn off electricity to the crawl space if water is near outlets, junction boxes, or the panel
- Avoid entering the crawl space until you know the water is not electrically charged
- Keep receipts for any temporary pumps, fans, or emergency supplies you purchase
- Shut off the water source (supply line, water heater, or irrigation feed) if it is safe to do so
- Note the approximate time the moisture or flooding started, for your insurance claim
What Not To Do
