What To Do Immediately
- 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
- Avoid entering the crawl space until you know the water is not electrically charged
- Run a portable fan near the crawl space access point if it is safe, to begin air circulation
- Note the approximate time the moisture or flooding started, for your insurance claim
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 use a household wet/dry vacuum for anything more than a few inches of standing water
- Do not enter a crawl space with sagging floor joists or visible structural damage above

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a crawl space company in New Baltimore handle both water extraction and encapsulation?
