What To Do Immediately
- Note the approximate time the moisture or flooding started, for your insurance claim
- 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
- Check the sump pump (if present) to see whether it is running, clogged, or has lost power
- Take photos and videos of standing water, wet insulation, and any visible mold for insurance documentation
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 enter a crawl space with sagging floor joists or visible structural damage above
- Do not assume batt insulation can be saved once it has been soaked — it typically must be removed and replaced
