Crawl Space Water Risk Check questions
How do I check my crawl space safely?
Look from the access door with a flashlight. Do not crawl in if there is standing water near wiring or equipment, or if it smells like sewage.
Is a little water under the house normal after rain?
No. A dry crawl space should stay dry. Water after every storm points to grading, gutter or drainage problems that need fixing.
Who fixes the drainage and who dries the crawl space?
A drainage or foundation contractor handles grading, drains and sump systems. The restoration team pumps out the water, replaces wet barrier and dries the framing.
Does homeowners insurance cover a wet crawl space?
Water from a sudden pipe break is often covered, while ground water and long-term seepage often are not. Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
Can a wet crawl space wait?
Standing water keeps the joists, subfloor and insulation wet and raises humidity in the house. Getting it out quickly limits the drying and the tear-out.
