Signs to look for
When to call us for under house water removal
For the written restoration scope, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
There is a musty smell you can only find near the floor
During our assessment, get your nose down by the baseboard and the floor seams. During our assessment, odor from an under floor void concentrates at the lowest gaps in the room.
Water is standing in the yard right against the house
During our assessment, a shallow void takes whatever the soil beside it cannot hold. As our specialists document the loss, puddles that sit at the wall after rain are in many cases also sitting under the floor.
Skirting panels are stained, bowed or pushed out at the bottom
For the written restoration scope, skirting shows the high water mark from outside. As our specialists document the loss, staining, warping and popped panels mean water has been standing behind them.
You hear water moving when a shower or washer drains
As our specialists document the loss, that sound means a drain line under the floor is leaking rather than carrying.
You have never once been under there
During our assessment, no door, no hatch, and twelve to eighteen inches of clearance means nobody has checked in years. For the written restoration scope, age of the problem is commonly measured in seasons.
What happens
How we handle under house water removal
Our restoration specialists adjust the work to the areas and materials involved, the measured reach of the water, and the materials that can be saved.
Finding a way in, safely
For the written restoration scope, we use an existing access panel, remove skirting sections, or open a vent.
A camera survey before anyone commits
As our specialists document the loss, a camera pole and a strong light map the void from the opening.
Water pulled out from a distance
For the written restoration scope, low profile pumps and long wands reach water that a crew cannot follow.
A path cut through the dirt to a single low point
For the written restoration scope, in an uneven void we trench a shallow channel so scattered pools drain to one reachable spot.
Mud and muck removed as far as reach allows
For the written restoration scope, water leaves silt behind, and silt keeps the void wet.
The plumbing under the floor traced
During our assessment, supply lines, drain lines, sewer lines and hose bib penetrations get inspected on camera. From the first moisture reading, naming the source is what stops this from repeating.

How you get in, and whether access has to be made
From the first moisture reading, an existing panel is free. During our assessment, removing and reinstalling skirting, or cutting and repairing a small access, is real labor and real material.Clearance under the floor
During our assessment, twenty four inches lets a crew work. As our specialists document the loss, twelve inches means tools and cameras do everything, which changes both time and method.Footprint of the wet area
As our specialists document the loss, water under one room is a contained job.Mud and silt volume
From the first moisture reading, scraping and vacuuming silt through a small opening is the slowest work on the invoice.House type
During our assessment, post and pier, skirted and manufactured homes each need different handling. As our specialists document the loss, belly wrap work in particular is its own work plan.Distance from the access to the water
As our specialists document the loss, water forty feet from the only opening costs more than water at the entrance.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
Moisture can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Out of reach is not out of consequence
From the first moisture reading, the floor you walk on is the ceiling of that void.
Mud holds water long after the pumping would have stopped
During our assessment, silt behaves like a sponge spread across the soil.
The source is in many cases plumbing, and plumbing keeps running
As our specialists document the loss, supply and drain failures under a floor do not stop on their own.
Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours in a shut void
As our specialists document the loss, no light, no airflow and damp soil is the ideal combination.
