I got a frantic phone call from our daughter saying that after they had a refrigerator installed three weeks ago and now there is a ton of water in the crawlspace.
I’m still not clear if the water was leaking from above into the crawlspace or if a waterline is leaking in the crawlspace.
If it’s leaking in the crawlspace, how did that happen if the installers did not go under there? Did they work something loose?
With me out of town, I can only do so much. Looking at the picture they sent me, it looks like a lot of water on the plastic vapor barrier and I see water hanging from some PVC pipe. It really must’ve been spraying under there
That said, I’ve told them to pull the plastic out towards the crawlspace door, hopefully bringing as much water with it as possible.
Step two, is make sure all the vents are open and Ms Rocket dropped off a blower to get fresh air in the crawlspace. From the picture, I told her to raise up the blower a little bit.
Any other advice?
Edit: their house was built 30 or 40 years ago, so it has a 2 foot high crawlspace if that much. Add ductwork and plumbing pipes and it’s a ***** to get in there. Which means I’m not going in there.
