Crawl Space Water Removal in Seattle
Standing water or heavy moisture in your crawl space can lead to odors, mold risk, and wood damage. We remove water, run targeted drying when appropriate, and document moisture conditions clearly.
If you see electrical hazards, sewage, or deep standing water, do not enter the crawl space. Call and we’ll talk through safe next steps.
Standing Water in Your Crawl Space?
Seattle-area crawl spaces are prone to water issues from plumbing leaks, groundwater intrusion, drainage problems, and seasonal moisture. The faster you remove standing water and start controlled drying, the better the odds you avoid long-term odors and wood damage.
- Water removal from accessible crawl spaces
- Moisture checks on joists, subfloor, posts, and nearby framing
- Drying equipment setup when conditions allow (air movers / dehumidification)
- Clear photos + notes you can share with insurance, a plumber, or a contractor
Common crawl space water scenarios
- Supply line or drain leak dripping into the crawl
- Pooling water under a bathroom, kitchen, or laundry
- Wet soil that stays muddy and musty
- Odors rising into living spaces, especially after rain
We’ll help you understand whether this looks like a one-time leak or a recurring moisture problem, and what type of specialist may be needed after mitigation.
What to do before we arrive
- If safe, stop the water source (shutoff valve or main)
- Avoid entering if you see electrical hazards or sewage
- Take quick photos/video from the access point
- If you can safely do so, keep the access area clear

Our crawl space mitigation approach
We keep this simple and documented. We remove the water we can access, evaluate moisture in wood and nearby materials, and set up drying equipment when it makes sense.
- Assess: where the water is coming from and how far it spread
- Remove: pump/extract standing water when accessible
- Dry: targeted drying to reduce moisture and odors
- Monitor: moisture readings and progress notes (when we’re returning)
- Document: photos + readings for your records
If the real solution is drainage, encapsulation, or waterproofing, we’ll tell you plainly and point you toward the right type of contractor.
What we do (and don’t do)
- We do: mitigation, drying, moisture checks, and documentation.
- We do: coordinate with your plumber if the source is plumbing-related.
- We don’t: perform structural repairs, full encapsulation, or re-grading/drainage work.
- We don’t: push reconstruction or upsell work you don’t need.
