Signs to look for
When to call us for under house water removal
With local guidance, 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
From your first call, get your nose down by the baseboard and the floor seams.
Water is standing in the yard right against the house
From your first call, a shallow void takes whatever the soil beside it cannot hold.
Skirting panels are stained, bowed or pushed out at the bottom
With local guidance, skirting shows the high water mark from outside. For a clear next step close to home, staining, warping and popped panels mean water has been standing behind them.
You hear water moving when a shower or washer drains
For a clear next step close to home, that sound means a drain line under the floor is leaking rather than carrying.
You have never once been under there
From your first call, no door, no hatch, and twelve to eighteen inches of clearance means nobody has checked in years.
What happens
How we handle under house water removal
Our neighborhood response team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Finding a way in, safely
With local guidance, we use an existing access panel, remove skirting sections, or open a vent.
A camera survey before anyone commits
For a clear next step close to home, a camera pole and a strong light map the void from the opening.
Water pulled out from a distance
With local guidance, low profile pumps and long wands reach water that a crew cannot follow. For a clear next step close to home, the equipment goes where the person cannot.
A path cut through the dirt to a single low point
With local guidance, 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
With local guidance, water leaves silt behind, and silt keeps the void wet.
The plumbing under the floor traced
From your first call, supply lines, drain lines, sewer lines and hose bib penetrations get inspected on camera.

Questions about under house water removal
From your first call, there is no crawl space door. How do you get under my house?
From your first call, usually through skirting sections, a vent opening or an existing access panel. As your nearby response team helps, where nothing works, we discuss the smallest possible new opening with you first, and we close it back up afterward.
How do you remove water from a space too tight to crawl into?

How did water get under my house?

For a clear next step close to home, my home sits on piers with skirting. Is this the same job?
From your first call, it is our normal version of this job. As your nearby response team helps, skirting comes off in sections, the void gets surveyed on camera, and everything is worked from the outside in.
What about water under a manufactured or mobile home?
For a clear next step close to home, the belly wrap under the floor often traps the water in a pouch.
How much does under house water removal cost?
For a clear next step close to home, nationally, remote pumping alone runs about $700 to $2,000. From your first call, removal plus ducted drying for one section runs about $1,800 to $4,500.
Can you get all the mud out if you cannot reach the whole space?
With local guidance, not always, and we say so in writing. With local guidance, we clean everything within reach, then show you on camera which bays or corners we could not fully clear.
