Crawl Space Water Removal Solutions in Tempe

Floors that feel soft or bouncy in a Tempe home can sit over wet joists or subfloor. Long-term moisture in the crawl space weakens wood and fasteners.

In Tempe, Guadalupe, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, crawl spaces that flood repeatedly may need drainage changes. The pros dry the space and explain the options.

The Crawl Space Water Removal Process in Tempe

Crawl Space Water Extraction

Water is discharged well away from the foundation so it does not soak back into the soil around the crawl space.

Crawl Space Insulation Replacement

New insulation is fitted snugly between the joists and supported so it does not sag onto the crawl space floor.

Crawl Space Dehumidification

Dehumidifiers sized for crawl spaces bring humidity down so the joists, beams and subfloor can release the water they absorbed.

Crawl Space Debris Removal

Contaminated debris from floodwater or a sewer leak is removed with protective gear and disposed of properly.

Emergency Crawl Space Pump-Out

Emergency pump-out starts with shutting off the water and checking for electrical hazards, then pumping right away.

Wiring, the furnace and ductwork near the water are checked before anyone enters.

Step 4: Restoration of Insulation
