What To Do Immediately
- Run a portable fan near the crawl space access point if it is safe, to begin air circulation
- Shut off the water source (supply line, water heater, or irrigation feed) if it is safe to do so
- Turn off electricity to the crawl space if water is near outlets, junction boxes, or the panel
- Check with neighbors if a shared drainage or grading issue may be contributing to the moisture
- 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 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 delay calling for help — mold can begin developing on wet wood and insulation within 24–48 hours
