The Crawl Space Water Removal Process in Sublimity

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

Replacing insulation only after drying keeps moisture from being trapped against the wood again.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier Repair

Torn or loose sections of the vapor barrier are replaced after the crawl space is dry, so ground moisture stays out of the framing.

Crawl Space Sump Pump Installation

A sump pump in a crawl space is placed where water naturally collects, with discharge piped away from the foundation.

Crawl Space Debris Removal

Leaves, mud, fallen insulation and other debris are bagged and removed from the crawl space floor after the water is pumped out.

How to Know You Need Crawl Space Water Removal

Soggy or Deteriorating Insulation

Insulation that is wet, sagging or crumbling has been holding water under the floor.

Increased Pest Activity

More insects or rodents around the house can be drawn by damp wood and soil below.

Visible Standing Water

Standing water seen from the crawl space access opening needs pumping right away.

Condensation on Pipes or Ducts

Water droplets on ducts and pipes under the house mean the crawl space air is too humid.

How Crawl Space Water Removal Works in Sublimity

Step 1: Source Identification

The pros check plumbing, drainage and foundation to find where the water came from.

Step 2: Water Extraction

Water is pumped and extracted from the barrier, soil and low spots near the walls.

Step 3: Structural Drying

Joists, beams and subfloor are dried with directed airflow until readings drop.

Step 4: Prevention Plan

Sump pump, barrier and drainage options are explained to keep water out in the future.

Common Causes of Water Damage in Sublimity

Appliance Malfunction or Overflow

Storm Sewer Backup or Overload

An overloaded storm sewer can back up and push water toward the house and crawl space.

HVAC Condensate Drain Overflow

AC condensate lines that drain or leak into the crawl space keep it wet.

Plumbing Leaks Under the House

Supply and drain pipes under the house can leak or burst into the crawl space.
