Flooded Crawl Space Disaster made "Like it Never Even Happened"

Lance stuck in the mud of the Bohl Family Crawlspace

When Julius and Shirley Bohl noticed that moisture was gathering on  their high grade windows, from the inside of their home, they knew something in their home just was not right. When Julius accessed their crawl space, their suspicions had been confirmed. In their crawlspace, they discovered four inches of water as a result of two broken pipes. They called their insurance agent who provided a list of vendors and the Bohls chose SERVPRO because of the company's reputation. They had used SERVPRO before in Denver, and though they knew that SERVPRO of Grand Junction had an entirely different crew, they knew that SERVPRO had high industry standards and was very reputable.
      When Lance and Dallas arrived on the scene they placed thick blankets through out the traffic areas in the home that they would be using to protect the carpet and flooring. After they pulled the vapor barrier, which had not withstood the 4 plus inches of water and needed replaced, water still remained in the the crawl space. Julius described the water leaving the pumps from the crawl space as a faucet of running water.
     With the crawlspace still very moist, the Bohl's heard a shout for help. When they got to the source of the call for help, they found Lance stuck in mud to his knees in their crawlspace. That goes to show the amount of moisture that was in the crawl space.

      Though the equipment was noisy, the Bohls found the drying process with SERVPRO a favorable one. "The guys were very professional," said Mr. Bohl of Dallas and Lance. Mrs. Bohl was pleased and summed it up when she said, "It would take an expert to know that anything had ever happened."
     If you suspect moisture in your crawlspace, call SERVPRO of Grand Junction at 970-241-8181. Excess moisture can cause mold, a very costly problem and can have health implications for you and your family.
