Most homeowners don’t think about their attic or crawlspace—until something goes wrong. Then it’s a scramble. Flooding, mold, rodents—these hidden emergencies can do serious damage fast. The good news? With quick action and the right help, you can stop the emergency before it spreads.
Here’s your emergency plan for protecting your home and saving money when disaster strikes below.
Flooded Crawlspace? Move Fast
How to Spot It
- Pooled water under the house
- Soaked or sagging insulation
- Warped wood or a musty smell
What to Do First
- Cut power to the area
- Stay out until professionals arrive
- Document everything for insurance
Call in the Pros
At American Crawlspace, we don’t just remove the water—we dry it fast, inspect for damage, and stop it from coming back. That means new vapor barriers, better drainage, and clean, dry conditions that last.
Mold in the Attic or Crawlspace? Don’t Mess Around
Warning Signs
- Dark patches on wood or insulation
- A persistent musty smell
- Allergy or asthma symptoms that get worse indoors
Why DIY is Risky
Scrubbing mold just spreads spores. You can make things worse without solving the problem.
Call a Mold Remediation Team
We’ll locate the source, remove all contaminated material, and treat the area with professional-grade solutions. Then we fix the issue that caused it—like bad ventilation or missing fan ducts. Our goal: no more mold, ever.
Rodents in the Crawlspace? Act Immediately
You’ll Know They’re There
- Scratching noises in the walls
- Droppings or gnawed insulation
- Cold drafts and foul smells
What’s at Risk
Rodents chew wiring, ruin insulation, and leave behind dangerous contamination. They breed quickly and hide well.
Rodent Exclusion is Key
We don’t just trap. We find every entry point, seal them up, and remove the mess they leave behind. Then we sanitize, re-insulate, and keep them out for good.
After the Emergency: Prevent It from Coming Back
