Signs to look for

When to call us for under house water removal

So the repair lasts, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

One patch of floor feels soft with nothing leaking above it

So the repair lasts, a subfloor absorbing moisture from below loses stiffness before it looks damaged. For a job done right, if nothing upstairs explains it, the water is under you.

There is a musty smell you can only find near the floor

With sound workmanship in mind, get your nose down by the baseboard and the floor seams.

Water is standing in the yard right against the house

With sound workmanship in mind, a shallow void takes whatever the soil beside it cannot hold. For a job done right, puddles that sit at the wall after rain are more often than not also sitting under the floor.

Skirting panels are stained, bowed or pushed out at the bottom

So the repair lasts, skirting shows the high water mark from outside. For a job done right, staining, warping and popped panels mean water has been standing behind them.

You hear water moving when a shower or washer drains

For a job done right, that sound means a drain line under the floor is leaking as opposed to carrying. So the repair lasts, it is one of the most common under house sources.

You have never once been under there

With sound workmanship in mind, no door, no hatch, and twelve to eighteen inches of clearance means nobody has checked in years.

What happens

How we see to under house water removal

Our workmanship team adjusts the work to what soaked up water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be preserved.

Finding a way in, safely

So the repair lasts, we use an existing access panel, remove skirting sections, or open a vent.

A camera survey before anyone commits

For a job done right, a camera pole and a strong light map the void from the opening.

Water pulled out from a distance

So the repair lasts, low profile pumps and long wands reach water that a crew cannot follow. For a job done right, the equipment goes where the person cannot.

A path cut through the dirt to a single low point

So the repair lasts, 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

So the repair lasts, water leaves silt behind, and silt keeps the void wet.

The plumbing under the floor traced

With sound workmanship in mind, supply lines, drain lines, sewer lines and hose bib penetrations get inspected on camera.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

So the repair lasts, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. So the repair lasts, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situationWhat the estimate may includeTypical range
Shallow void pump out where access is limited, water onlyWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. With sound workmanship in mind, remote pumping through an existing or easily opened access, no mud work.$700 to $2,000
Under floor water removal and ducted drying, one section of the houseWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. So the repair lasts, includes camera survey, remote extraction, cleaning and five to eight days of equipment.$1,800 to $4,500
Mud and silt removal from under a house, per square footNational estimate. Priced on reachable area, with unreachable areas identified on paper.$1 to $4
Access creation, skirting removal and reinstallationWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. For a job done right, a cut floor or rim access needing carpentry repair sits at the top of this band.$300 to $1,200
Post and pier home, whole under floor area cleaned and driedBefore the finish work begins, national estimate for a full footprint with mud, limited clearance and multiple access points.$4,000 to $12,000
Manufactured home belly wrap drained, wet insulation out, underbelly repair coordinatedWith sound workmanship in mind, national estimate. With sound workmanship in mind, underbelly membrane repair is often completed by a manufactured home specialist.$800 to $3,500
After hours or overnight dispatch chargeFor a job done right, added once when access work begins at night or on a weekend, and not repeated on the return visits.$100 to $400 nationally

  • How you get in, and whether access has to be made
    Before the finish work begins, an existing panel is free.

  • Clearance under the floor
    With sound workmanship in mind, twenty four inches lets a crew work.

  • Footprint of the wet area
    For a job done right, water under one room is a contained job.

  • Mud and silt volume
    Before the finish work begins, scraping and vacuuming silt through a small opening is the slowest work on the invoice.

  • House type
    With sound workmanship in mind, post and pier, skirted and manufactured homes each need different handling.

  • Distance from the access to the water
    For a job done right, water forty feet from the only opening costs more than water at the entrance.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Before the finish work begins, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Out of reach is not out of consequence

Before the finish work begins, the floor you walk on is the ceiling of that void.

Mud holds water long after the pumping would have stopped

With sound workmanship in mind, silt behaves like a sponge spread across the soil. So the repair lasts, left in position it keeps the void humid for months, no matter how much water was removed.

The source is more often than not plumbing, and plumbing keeps running

For a job done right, supply and drain failures under a floor do not stop on their own.

Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours in a shut void

For a job done right, no light, no airflow and damp soil is the ideal combination.

Common questions

Questions about under house water removal

With sound workmanship in mind, there is no crawl space door. How do you get under my house?

With sound workmanship in mind, more often than not through skirting sections, a vent opening or an existing access panel. So the repair lasts, where nothing works, we discuss the smallest possible new opening with you first, and we close it back up once the work is finished.

How do you remove water from a space too tight to crawl into?

For a job done right, the equipment goes where a person cannot. So the repair lasts, low profile pumps, long wands and a camera pole do the work, and we trench a shallow channel so scattered water drains to one reachable point.

How did water get under my house?

Before the finish work begins, most often a drain or supply line under the floor, a hose bib or sprinkler line, or yard water running toward the house.

For a job done right, my home sits on piers with skirting. Is this the same job?

With sound workmanship in mind, it is our normal version of this job. Before the finish work begins, 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 job done right, the belly wrap under the floor often traps the water in a pouch.

How much does under house water removal cost?

For a job done right, nationally, remote pumping alone runs about $700 to $2,000. With sound workmanship in mind, 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?

For a job done right, not always, and we say so on paper. So the repair lasts, we clean everything within reach, then show you on camera which bays or corners we could not fully clear.
