What To Do Immediately
- Check the sump pump (if present) to see whether it is running, clogged, or has lost power
- Note the approximate time the moisture or flooding started, for your insurance claim
- Keep receipts for any temporary pumps, fans, or emergency supplies you purchase
- Turn off electricity to the crawl space if water is near outlets, junction boxes, or the panel
- Shut off the water source (supply line, water heater, or irrigation feed) if it is safe to do so
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 use a household wet/dry vacuum for anything more than a few inches of standing water
- Do not assume batt insulation can be saved once it has been soaked — it typically must be removed and replaced
- Do not walk on wet or soaked crawl space insulation, as it can conceal weakened flooring above
