Wet insulation is the slowest part of a crawl space to recover in Hutchins homes. Batts between the joists soak up water and keep the subfloor damp for weeks.

Crawl Space Mold Prevention Treatment

After drying, an antimicrobial can be applied to joists, beams and subfloor that stayed wet long enough to need it.

Crawl Space Moisture Barrier Installation

A full moisture barrier can be installed over the crawl space floor and up the foundation walls after drying, to limit ground moisture.
