Crawl Space Water & Moisture
Water and humidity in a crawlspace rot floor joists, attract termites and pests, and raise moisture and mold levels in the rooms above.

Do this right now
- Don't crawl into standing water near wiring or a furnace
- Check gutters and downspouts near the crawlspace
- Look for a leaking pipe above the water (a plumbing leak needs a plumber first)
- Ventilate the house above if smells are strong
Warning signs
- Standing water or mud under the house
- Musty smells inside the home
- Sagging or soft floors
- Mold on joists or insulation hanging down
- Condensation on ducts or pipes
What the waterproofing contractor will do
A contractor may install a crawlspace drain and sump, a vapor barrier or full encapsulation, and a dehumidifier, and correct exterior grading.
What affects the price
Drainage and a basic vapor barrier cost far less than full encapsulation with a dehumidifier and insulation. Providers set their own prices, so ask for any service-call or inspection fee and an estimate first.
Safety first
- Never walk into standing water near outlets, cords, appliances or the electrical panel.
- Smell gas or see a furnace or water heater underwater? Leave and call your gas utility or 911.
- Sewage in the water? Avoid contact and keep kids and pets away—it's a health hazard.
