Crawl Space Water Extraction Services in Reedley

Crawl Space Mud Removal

Mud and silt left by floodwater are shoveled and vacuumed from the crawl space floor so the barrier and soil can dry.

Crawl Space Structural Drying

Drying is aimed at the wood framing, since that is what supports the floors and what stays wet longest.

Crawl Space Mold Prevention Treatment

After drying, an antimicrobial can be applied to joists, beams and subfloor that stayed wet long enough to need it.

Flood Water Pump Out

Pump-out continues until no standing water remains on the barrier or soil, then extraction tools clear what is left in low spots.

Crawl Space Insulation Removal

New insulation is installed only after readings confirm the joists and subfloor are dry.
