Complete Crawl Space Water Removal Solutions for Melba
Crawl Space Dehumidification
A crawl space that stays humid even when no water is present may need a permanent dehumidifier. That option is explained after drying.
Crawl Space Insulation Replacement
New insulation is fitted snugly between the joists and supported so it does not sag onto the crawl space floor.
Crawl Space Mold Prevention
After drying, joists and subfloor that were damp for days can be treated with an antimicrobial before insulation goes back.
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.

Malfunctioning Sump Pump System
A sump pump that fails, loses power or is too small lets water rise under the house.
