Crawl Space Cleaning in Los Angeles

Besides just cleaning of the crawl space, we at Pure Eco offer a number of other related services as well. In fact, we offer “full crawl space services,” so whatever problem you may have in your crawlspace, or if you just want a crawlspace inspection, we can handle it.

Aside from cleaning services, where we remove all debris and garbage from your crawlspace floor, de-mold, de-tox, and thoroughly sanitize the whole crawlspace, we also offer:

1. Rodent Proofing

One very common problem in L.A. Area crawlspaces, which we get a lot of calls about, is rodent infestations. On the other hand, you may not even know that you have rats or mice living just under your floor until after you get your crawlspace cleaned or inspected.

In rodent proofing, we will go on a “search and destroy” mission in your crawlspace. We know how to find rodents’ entry points and permanently seal them off with metal screening and/or foam sealant, depending on the exact situation.

If rodents have already chewed through wiring, damaged pipes or duct work, destroyed insulation, or contaminated the area with feces, urine, or their dead carcasses, we will deal with that for you too.

We at Pure Eco have deep experience in rodent proofing both crawl spaces and attics. We know what works and what doesn’t. We can set traps to kill off rodents already present as well as fortify your crawlspace to minimize the risks of a re-infestation.

2. Air Sealing

Not only do holes need to sealed to prevent the entry of unwanted guests (rodents and insects), but any draft needs to be plugged up to prevent the loss of your conditioned indoor air.

Unless air sealing is done first, installing insulation will be of little value. The R-value of insulation can be reduced by as much as 50% due to unsealed holes and cracks in your crawl space walls.

At Pure Eco, we are experts at locating all air leak points and effectively, permanently sealing them, and thus, lowering your energy bill and preparing the wall for crawlspace insulation.

3. Insulate OR Re-Insulate

The intense moisture levels in many L.A. Area crawl spaces often dampens and ruins insulation material (typically batts insulation). Rodent droppings, rodent nesting habits, leaky ducts or pipes, and other factors can also cause old insulation to deteriorate to the point it ought to be replaced.

In other cases, the crawlspace never was insulated to begin with, OR it never was sufficiently insulated.

We can install insulation in your crawlspace where there’s none, add more if necessary, or tear out and dispose of old insulation and replace it with new material – whichever is most appropriate to the situation.

Many people ask if it’s really necessary to replace old, damp, dirty, dingy insulation. The answer is, yes, if you want your insulation to work like it’s supposed to. Of course, it depends on the level of the damage, and you may only need some of your insulation replaced rather than all of it – but the point is that insulation can be damaged to the point its useless and needs to be replaced.

We can help you select an insulation type that fits your R-value needs, your budget, and your concern for our environment. And we take care of getting rid of the old insulation – without leaving any mess behind!

4. Duct Replacement

If you have duct work running through your crawlspace, as many in Southern California do, it’s not uncommon for older ducts to get cracked and leaky.

It may be we can seal a few small duct leaks and save an old duct, OR it may be that the duct is too badly damaged and really needs to be replaced.

Either way, we can handle the job. We can inspect your ducts and fix or replace them (if necessary and you decide to do it) quickly, professionally, and at a very competitive rate.
