Steps of crawl space dehumidification

Durham Crawl Space Guys have a few steps that we follow so that your crawl space is dry and clean. We first remove any standing water, and we ensure that the floor is dry, because there is no point ensuring that the walls are dry if the floors are still damp. We then take the next step which is an important step; ensuring that no mold has formed in your crawl space! If there is mold then we first take care of that before moving on. So once the entire area is dry and mold-free, then we bring in the dehumidifying unit! We then install the unit in your crawl space, the unit works as a vacuum, that will suck in the moist air in the crawl space and dry it out before the air gets redistributed back into your crawl space.

Does it take longer to dry out water damage?

If there was a lot of water in your crawl space it will take longer to dry out the area and also to repair the crawl space. If you neglect the water damage in your crawl space, it will take longer to fix it, and that is why it is so important to fix even the tiniest of water leaks before it becomes a bigger problem. Bad water damage can take weeks to repair if has led to mold growth. A flooded crawl space will also take a couple of weeks to repair and dehumidify.

Crawl space inspections are another service that we do offer.
