What To Do Immediately
- Note the approximate time the moisture or flooding started, for your insurance claim
- Call a crawl space restoration professional as soon as possible
- Run a portable fan near the crawl space access point if it is safe, to begin air circulation
- Take photos and videos of standing water, wet insulation, and any visible mold for insurance documentation
- Check the sump pump (if present) to see whether it is running, clogged, or has lost power
What Not To Do
- Do not run electrical equipment inside a crawl space that still has standing water
- 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 enter a crawl space with sagging floor joists or visible structural damage above
