Detailed Crawl Space Water Extraction for Cascade Properties
Crawl Space Mud Removal
Mud on top of a vapor barrier holds water against it, so removing it is part of getting the crawl space dry.
Flood Water Pump Out
Pumping is done from outside where possible, with hoses run through the access opening to keep equipment out of the water.
Crawl Space Insulation Removal
Insulation batts that soaked up water are pulled from between the joists, bagged and taken out of the crawl space.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Repair
A repaired barrier keeps ground moisture from rising into the framing after the flood is over.
Crawl Space Moisture Barrier Installation
A full moisture barrier can be installed over the crawl space floor and up the foundation walls after drying, to limit ground moisture.
