Crawl Space Water Extraction Services in Gunter

Crawl Space Insulation Removal

Wet insulation holds water against the subfloor and adds weight. Removing it lets the wood dry and stops the smell.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Repair

A repaired barrier keeps ground moisture from rising into the framing after the flood is over.

Crawl Space Mold Prevention Treatment

Treatment is applied to clean, dry wood, and the source of the water is addressed so the crawl space stays dry.

Crawl Space Structural Drying

Once the water is out, air movers and dehumidifiers dry the joists, beams, sill plates and underside of the subfloor.

Crawl Space Moisture Barrier Installation

A barrier is installed only after the crawl space is dry, so moisture is not trapped under the new plastic.
