What To Do Immediately
- 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
- Take photos and videos of standing water, wet insulation, and any visible mold for insurance documentation
- Check the sump pump (if present) to see whether it is running, clogged, or has lost power
- Check with neighbors if a shared drainage or grading issue may be contributing to the moisture
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 enter a crawl space with sagging floor joists or visible structural damage above
- Do not run electrical equipment inside a crawl space that still has standing water
- Do not walk on wet or soaked crawl space insulation, as it can conceal weakened flooring above
