Do I need a water damage restoration company?
Crawl spaces are often dark, musty, unpleasant places. We get it: they’re gross. We don’t mind getting into the inner workings of your home or business, cleaning things up and making the building breathe, cycle air and expel excess moisture as it was designed to do.
The crawl spaces in your home’s attic, basement and structural cavities provide access to mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment and fixtures. If not properly constructed and maintained, they also provide opportunities for wasted heating and cooling energy, insect or rodent infestation and hazardous mold growth.
Pests, and trapped water can damage vapor barriers, resulting in still worse damage like mold and rotten structural materials. And poorly insulated crawl spaces can spill expensive heat into the winter night.
If you notice odd changes in indoor temperatures in your home or business, strange drafts, visible signs of moisture or animal infestation, or spikes in heating or cooling bills, call Abbotts for a free inspection.
We work with ALL insurance providers.
How do I choose a Denver Water Damage Restoration Company?
Crawlspace restoration is a dirty job. Building ventilation systems usually run through crawl spaces, so leaky ductwork, coupled with pest or mold infestation can result in air contaminated with rodent droppings, decaying food cached by pests and mold spores. This isn’t a job you want to do without the proper protective equipment!
Find a Qualified Water Damage Restoration Company
For dirty jobs like crawlspace cleanup it is important to focus on quality rather than price. A professional restoration company will do the best work, saving you from having to spend additional money on expensive repairs down the road. Professionals will also offer free inspections and ensure that vapor barriers are correctly installed.
What are vapor barriers?
Vapor barriers are just what their name suggests: a barrier to keep moisture from entering your home’s crawl spaces. They keep water from diffusing through walls, floors and ceilings, protecting your property from potential damage and mold infestations.
In addition to protecting your home from potentially damaging moisture, vapor barriers assist in maintaining desired indoor climates by reducing the humidity inside.

Answering Your Water Damage Restoration Questions
How much does it cost for water damage restoration?
Average water damage restoration costs range from $2000 to $5000. This includes water extraction and drying as well as repairs to ceiling and walls resulting from the water damage.
How long does it take to repair water damage?
The length of time it takes to repair water damage depends on a variety of factors including how much water there is and what kind of material is impacted. Once the water is extracted, drying equipment like air movers and dehumidifiers are installed. For small areas with clean water, the entire process is usually completed in just a few days. For larger areas or contaminated water, it can take several weeks, even months, to get you back to normal.
What causes water damage?
Water damage results from an excessive amount of water. Common causes of water damage include broken pipes, frozen pipes, broken sprinklers, leaking appliances, toilet overflow, sump pump failure, clogged gutters, rain water, roof leak, foundation leak, basement leak, attic leak, HVAC leak, and floods. The longer water sits, the more damage it will cause.
