Crawl Space Water Damage Repair in Merrimack, NH

Professional Crawl Space Water Damage Repair in Merrimack, NH

Wet insulation is one of the biggest problems in a flooded crawl space in Merrimack. Batts between the joists soak up water, sag and hold moisture against the subfloor.

In Merrimack, Londonderry, Nashua and Hudson, many crawl spaces have aging vapor barriers that let moisture rise. The pros dry the space and repair the barrier.

Comprehensive Crawl Space Water Damage Repair for Merrimack

Crawl Space Drying Services

Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed in the crawl space to dry joists, sill plates and the underside of the subfloor.

Emergency Crawl Space Cleanup

Help is available any hour when a pipe under the house bursts or a storm floods the crawl space.

Wet Crawl Space Insulation Removal

Insulation is replaced only after the joists and subfloor test dry, so new batts are not installed against damp wood.

Crawl Space Dehumidification

Dehumidifiers sized for the crawl space pull moisture from the air so the wood framing can dry evenly.

Crawl Space Water Extraction

Standing water in a crawl space is pumped out from the lowest point, then wet soil and debris on the vapor barrier are cleared.

Readings on joists and subfloor are compared to dry wood before insulation goes back.
