Complete crawlspace dryingsolutions.
We explain the scope before work begins and keep you informed through every stage.
Access and safety setup
Review entry conditions and arrange safe access, lighting, and ventilation before work begins.
Standing-water removal
Remove accessible pooled water before assessing remaining damp surfaces beneath the affected property.
Vapour-barrier assessment
Check accessible barrier sections for tears, displaced edges, and areas of missing coverage.
Framing moisture readings
Measure accessible joists and subfloor areas from below to locate moisture and track drying.
Confined-space equipment planning
Plan equipment placement, power access, and duct routes around the crawlspace’s entry constraints.
Post-dry inspection
Recheck accessible framing and document remaining moisture-source concerns before completing the drying work.
We work under the floor so itdoes not reach the house.
Drier below. Measured throughout.
A crawlspace does not clear on its own if the barrier is torn or the vents are blocked, so the cause is found before the drying plan is set.
Repeat joist and subfloor readings guide drying adjustments and highlight anything needing attention before the final inspection.
