What To Do Immediately
- Note the approximate time the moisture or flooding started, for your insurance claim
- Call a crawl space restoration professional as soon as possible
- 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
- Check the sump pump (if present) to see whether it is running, clogged, or has lost power
What Not To Do
- Do not seal a vapor barrier over ground moisture without addressing the underlying water source first
- Do not assume batt insulation can be saved once it has been soaked — it typically must be removed and replaced
- Do not attempt to dry a large crawl space with a single box fan alone — professional drying equipment moves far more air
- Do not run electrical equipment inside a crawl space that still has standing water

Frequently Asked Questions
Do crawl space companies serving Frankfort work directly with insurance companies?
Many crawl space restoration professionals in our network are experienced in documenting moisture damage and communicating with insurance adjusters, which can help streamline the claims process. Final claim decisions are always made by your insurance provider.
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. Avoid using household equipment not designed for water removal, and don't delay — the longer moisture sits under the home, the greater the risk of wood rot and mold growth.
