Common Crawl Space Issues
Moisture & Water Intrusion
Standing water, high humidity, and condensation that can damage structural elements and create ideal conditions for mold growth.
Mold & Mildew
Fungal growth that thrives in dark, damp conditions and can affect indoor air quality and cause structural wood rot.
Pest Infestations
Rodents, insects, and other pests that seek shelter in crawl spaces, leaving behind waste and creating entry points into the home.
Structural Damage
Compromised floor joists, support beams, and foundation elements due to moisture damage, wood rot, or termite activity.
Health & Home Concerns
- Poor indoor air quality (up to 50% of indoor air comes from the crawl space)
- Mold spores and allergens entering living spaces
- Respiratory issues from exposure to contaminants
- Unpleasant odors throughout the home
- Pest-borne diseases and allergens
- Increased energy costs due to poor insulation

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my crawl space needs professional cleaning?
Signs that indicate your crawl space needs attention include musty odors throughout your home, high humidity levels, visible mold growth, sagging floors, increased energy bills, or pest activity. Our free inspection can identify these and other hidden issues.
How often should crawl spaces be inspected and cleaned?
We recommend annual inspections to catch potential problems early. After professional cleaning and encapsulation, maintenance inspections every 2-3 years are typically sufficient unless you notice warning signs.
What is crawl space encapsulation?
Encapsulation involves sealing the crawl space from outside elements using heavy-duty vapor barriers on floors and walls, sealing vents, installing proper insulation, and often adding a dehumidification system. This creates a clean, dry environment that improves energy efficiency and indoor air quality.
How long does crawl space cleanup take?
The timeline varies based on the size of the crawl space and the extent of contamination or damage. Basic cleanouts typically take 1-2 days, while more extensive projects involving structural repairs and full encapsulation may take 3-5 days.
