Flood Water Pump Out
Pump-out continues until no standing water remains on the barrier or soil, then extraction tools clear what is left in low spots.
Crawl Space Mud Removal
Mud and silt left by floodwater are shoveled and vacuumed from the crawl space floor so the barrier and soil can dry.
Crawl Space Insulation Removal
New insulation is installed only after readings confirm the joists and subfloor are dry.
Crawl Space Moisture Barrier Installation
A full moisture barrier can be installed over the crawl space floor and up the foundation walls after drying, to limit ground moisture.

Step 4: Treatment and Insulation Replacement
Wood that stayed wet can be treated, and new insulation goes in once readings are normal.
