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.
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.

Pump-out continues until no standing water remains on the barrier or soil, then extraction tools clear what is left in low spots.
