Do this right now

Don't crawl into standing water near wiring or a furnace
Check gutters and downspouts near the crawlspace
Look for a leaking pipe above the water (a plumbing leak needs a plumber first)
Ventilate the house above if smells are strong

Warning signs

Standing water or mud under the house
Musty smells inside the home
Sagging or soft floors
Mold on joists or insulation hanging down
Condensation on ducts or pipes

What the waterproofing contractor will do

A contractor may install a crawlspace drain and sump, a vapor barrier or full encapsulation, and a dehumidifier, and correct exterior grading.

What affects the price

Drainage and a basic vapor barrier cost far less than full encapsulation with a dehumidifier and insulation. Providers set their own prices, so ask for any service-call or inspection fee and an estimate first.

Safety first

Never walk into standing water near outlets, cords, appliances or the electrical panel.
Smell gas or see a furnace or water heater underwater? Leave and call your gas utility or 911.
Sewage in the water? Avoid contact and keep kids and pets away—it's a health hazard.
