When disaster strikes and the crawl space floods, a pump is usually the only feasible option to remove the water as quickly as possible. If left unattended, even a small amount of standing water can wreak unforetold havoc on the structure of the home, not to mention the health of everyone residing above.
There are, of course, other ways to extract water from the crawl space. For a small amount of water, a shop-vac, otherwise known as a wet-vac, can be employed. A shop-vac, however, entails constant emptying of the vacuum, can be hard to reach certain areas, and, of course, there is the risk of the vacuum clogging with sediment. A high powered pump and professional help are all around the best solution to ensure a job well done.
There are two types of these high powered pumps: submersible pumps and surface pumps. The difference is fairly obvious, as one can be placed in the water and one must sit out of reach of the water to function properly.
Regardless of what pump is being used, the lowest point of the crawl space must first be located to ensure that all the water can successfully be pumped out of the space.
When all that is over, it is recommended that a dehumidifier be placed in the crawl space to eliminate the lingering dampness, and to dry out wooden supports. Luckily, there are dehumidifiers that are designed specifically for the job of drying out basements and crawl spaces.
