Key takeaways
- Stop liquid water first
- Repair structure and rot next
- Then seal the floor, walls and vents
- Dry the space and insulate last
Order matters, because each step protects the next.
Water
Fix gutters, grading, drains and pumps before anything else.
Structure
Repair rot, joists and supports while you can see the wood.
Seal and dry
Lay the barrier, seal vents and add a dehumidifier.
Insulate
Insulate last, once the space is dry and tight.
