Is crawl space flood cleanup a DIY job?

With moisture meters on the joists and subfloor and hygrometers for the air, compared to normal levels.
What happens during crawl space leak repair?
The leaking pipe is repaired by a plumber, and the water and wet materials under the house are removed and dried.

Yes. Damp wood and insulation under the house can support microbial growth if they stay wet for days.
