"The work crew did an excellent job and they worked very hard.... I was home so observed them working. Phillip Madden provided a daily update of the progress of the project with photos and explanation of work done and he was available to explain and discuss the work in progress. The foreman, Mark, was very good supervisor as the job moved forward on schedule and he was the one who provided the photos of the work to Phillip.

"This was a very extensive project that I spent months researching, hired an engineer for his professional guidance, and accepted bids from four companies. Two of the other companies were cheaper but proposed to use synthetic foam materials, which don't have a long enough track record for my comfort. Once the job started, the crews worked with great diligence, and despite the numerous difficulties they encountered, I never heard a single complaint. Total work time was 14 days over a three-week period that include Independence Day. Total cost was about $40k"

Cleaning your crawl space is a worthwhile investment for several important reasons. A properly maintained crawl space prevents structural damage by eliminating moisture that can deteriorate wood supports and metal components. It also significantly improves your home's indoor air quality by removing allergens like mold spores and pest droppings that can circulate through your living spaces.
Additionally, a clean crawl space contributes to better energy efficiency by allowing proper insulation installation and reducing humidity levels that force your HVAC system to work harder.
Several warning signs indicate your crawl space needs professional attention. Look for musty odors throughout your home, unexplained increases in allergy symptoms, higher energy bills, visible pest activity, or moisture issues.
Other indicators include sagging floors, warped wood, visible mold growth, standing water, or damaged insulation. If your crawl space hasn't been inspected in over a year, or if you've recently experienced flooding or severe weather, it's advisable to have professionals assess the space even without obvious symptoms.
Most crawl space cleaning projects take between one and three days to complete, depending on several factors. Simple debris removal in a small, relatively clean space might be finished in a single day.
More involved projects that include mold remediation, water damage repair, or pest control require two to three days. For large crawl spaces or those with extensive contamination, the timeline might extend to a week, particularly if additional services like encapsulation are included in the project scope.
You can remain in your home during basic crawl space cleaning. However, if the project involves mold remediation or pest extermination with chemical treatments, temporary relocation might be recommended, especially for household members with respiratory conditions or chemical sensitivities.
Professional cleaning companies use containment procedures to minimize the spread of dust and contaminants into living spaces, but some disruption is inevitable. Discuss your specific situation with your service provider to determine the best approach for your family's needs.
