Do you check the HVAC system during crawl space repairs?

Crawl Space Water Damage FAQ: Do You Inspect the HVAC System?

Absolutely. At Total Home Water Restoration, HVAC system inspection is a key part of every full crawl space water damage restoration we do.

When water enters your crawl space, it’s not just the wood and insulation that suffer. Your HVAC system—especially ductwork—can be exposed to:

• Standing water

• High humidity

• Mold and microbial growth

• Rust and corrosion

If left unchecked, your HVAC system can end up pulling air from the crawl space and circulating it through your entire home. That means any mold, musty odors, or airborne contaminants down there can end up in your living space.

Here’s what we check and do during crawl space jobs:

• Inspect all accessible ductwork, boots, and connections for mold, rust, and damage

• Check HVAC equipment for water exposure or microbial growth

• Clean and seal ducts when necessary

• Recommend repairs or replacements if there’s permanent damage

• Document everything with photos for your records or insurance

We follow IICRC S500 and S520 guidelines, and we refer to S590 for assessing HVAC systems after water or mold events.

When we say "full restoration," we mean it. That includes air quality and comfort systems—not just drying out your crawl space.

Why It Matters

A lot of contractors skip HVAC when repairing crawl spaces. We don’t.

You shouldn’t risk mold blowing through your vents or water-damaged ducts silently rusting from the inside out.

If you’re in Grove City or nearby—Columbus, Hilliard, Dublin, Westerville, Reynoldsburg, or Pickerington—and you’ve had water in your crawl space, call us.

We’ll treat your home like it’s ours.
