What To Do Immediately
- Check with neighbors if a shared drainage or grading issue may be contributing to the moisture
- 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
- Avoid entering the crawl space until you know the water is not electrically charged
- Call a crawl space restoration professional as soon as possible
What Not To Do
- Do not walk on wet or soaked crawl space insulation, as it can conceal weakened flooring above
- Do not assume batt insulation can be saved once it has been soaked — it typically must be removed and replaced
- Do not use a household wet/dry vacuum for anything more than a few inches of standing water
- Do not attempt to dry a large crawl space with a single box fan alone — professional drying equipment moves far more air

How much does crawl space water damage repair cost in East Berne?
