How Our Emergency Crawl Space Drying Process Works
-
1Call Us – We Pick Up 24/7 We confirm what you’re seeing and smelling, check for safety concerns, and give you immediate steps to take (without going under the home yourself).
-
2Assessment & Safety Check We evaluate crawl space access, electrical risks, moisture levels, and whether contamination (like sewage) is present before work begins.
-
3Pump-Out & Extraction We remove standing water and saturated debris from the crawl space using professional pumps and extraction tools.
-
4Structural Drying & Odor Control We place dehumidifiers and low-profile air movers, adjust airflow for joists & subfloors, and use HEPA filtration / deodorization strategies when needed.
-
5Vapor Barrier & Insulation Decisions We review the condition of vapor barrier and insulation with you and recommend repair, removal, or replacement as needed for proper drying.
-
6Verification & Documentation We document readings, equipment, and photos so you and your adjuster know what was wet, what we did, and when it was dried.
Many crawl space drying projects take about 2–5 days, depending on water level, soil conditions, humidity, and how long the area has been wet.
The Elish Remediation Difference Under Your Home
No-pressure, on-site estimate before mitigation begins so you understand the plan and cost for your crawl space.
We provide clear documentation and help you and your adjuster understand what’s happening under the home.
Low-profile equipment and access planning to minimize disruption inside the home while we work below it.
We focus on structural drying and moisture control so you’re not dealing with repeating crawl space issues later.
What To Do Before We Arrive (Crawl Space Safety First)
- Keep people and pets out of the crawl space — let trained technicians go under the home.
- Avoid stepping near exterior walls if you suspect erosion or wash-out around the foundation.
- Do not touch breakers or electrical equipment that may be near wet areas. Call us and the utility if needed.
- If safe, walk the exterior and redirect downspouts or surface water away from the house.
- If you suspect sewage, keep that area closed off and avoid running HVAC that may pull odors into the home.
What Homeowners Say After Crawl Space Water Problems
“After a big storm, we found standing water in the crawl space and a strong odor in our living room. Elish Remediation pumped everything out, dried the subfloor, and helped us understand what the insurance would need. The smell is gone and the floors feel solid again.”
“A broken pipe soaked the crawl space under half our house. The crew explained every step, showed us moisture readings, and checked in daily until it was dry. Very professional and careful with access around our home.”

How fast can you come out for a wet crawl space?
For many emergency calls, our target arrival window is about 30–60 minutes from the time we dispatch a crew. We answer calls 24/7 and give you a clear ETA based on your location and any active emergencies we’re handling.
Do I need to go under the house before you arrive?
No. In most cases it’s safer if you stay out of the crawl space. We’ll ask what you’re seeing from access points, talk about odors, and help you with any safe steps you can take from outside or inside the home before we arrive.
Will water in the crawl space cause mold or structural damage?
Long-term moisture under the home can contribute to mold growth, wood rot, insulation damage, and persistent odors. That’s why we focus on both removing the water and properly drying the structure to acceptable moisture levels, not just “airing it out.”
Do you repair or replace vapor barriers?
Yes. As part of mitigation, we can remove damaged sections and repair or replace vapor barrier where appropriate. We’ll explain options, thickness, and how it fits into the overall drying and moisture control plan.
Is crawl space water damage covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on the cause of loss and your policy language. Sudden and accidental events (like a broken pipe) may be covered; ground water or chronic drainage issues are often excluded. We provide photos, moisture readings, and drying logs to support your discussion with the adjuster.
