After water
Woodland sits at the mouth of the Lewis River, and many crawl spaces here see water. When it recedes, it leaves behind wet insulation that has fallen or soaked through, torn and silty plastic, and sometimes debris carried in. Those materials stay damp and should generally come out.
What we remove
- Wet and fallen insulation
- Damaged, silt-covered ground cover
- Debris and trash
- Contaminated materials, where appropriate
If water was from flooding and you suspect contamination or significant mold growth, tell us. We'll plan the cleanout around what we find.
Putting it back together
After a cleanout, the usual sequence in Woodland is drainage if water keeps coming back, then a new vapor barrier and insulation.
What affects the scope in Woodland
- Volume of wet insulation and silty plastic
- Possible contamination after flood water
- Access when the space is still damp
- Haul-away
- Drying time before new materials go in
Timing after water
After water recedes, the crawl space needs to dry before new insulation or a barrier goes in. We'll talk about timing so new materials aren't trapping moisture.
Questions from Woodland homeowners
Should wet insulation come out?
Usually, yes.
Do you handle flood remediation?
We handle crawl space cleanouts after water: removing wet insulation, old plastic and debris so the space is ready for new barrier, insulation or repairs.
