Service Area Details

Ellison Bay includes a mix of housing stock and crawl space designs, so restoration crews typically adjust their equipment and drying strategy based on clearance height, foundation type, and existing vapor barrier condition.
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
- 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 the sump pump (if present) to see whether it is running, clogged, or has lost power
What Not To Do
- Do not assume batt insulation can be saved once it has been soaked — it typically must be removed and replaced
- Do not use a household wet/dry vacuum for anything more than a few inches of standing water
- Do not enter a crawl space with sagging floor joists or visible structural damage above
- Do not attempt to dry a large crawl space with a single box fan alone — professional drying equipment moves far more air
