Here's the full scope of a Phillipsburg crawl space water job.

Low-profile pumps and extraction tools remove standing water from tight crawl space clearances.
A damaged or missing vapor barrier is repaired or replaced to control ongoing ground moisture.
Sump discharge is checked to confirm water is actually being routed away from the foundation.
Vent placement is evaluated and adjusted if it's contributing to trapped humidity rather than ventilation.
We check structural wood condition on every crawl space job, since that's often the real risk.
