What To Do Immediately
- 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
- Note the approximate time the moisture or flooding started, for your insurance claim
- Shut off the water source (supply line, water heater, or irrigation feed) if it is safe to do so
- Run a portable fan near the crawl space access point if it is safe, to begin air circulation
What Not To Do
- Do not use a household wet/dry vacuum for anything more than a few inches of standing water
- Do not seal a vapor barrier over ground moisture without addressing the underlying water source first
- Do not delay calling for help — mold can begin developing on wet wood and insulation within 24–48 hours
- Do not run electrical equipment inside a crawl space that still has standing water
