Emergency Crawl Space Pump-Out

Water under the house is pulled out with submersible pumps set at the low point, then extraction tools clear the barrier and corners.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Repair
Water sitting on top of the barrier is extracted, then the barrier is lifted so the soil underneath can be checked and dried.
Crawl Space Debris Removal
Leaves, mud, fallen insulation and other debris are bagged and removed from the crawl space floor after the water is pumped out.
Crawl Space Dehumidification
