Crawl Space Cleaning Services

Cleaning your crawl space is more than insulation removal or providing a junk removal service. Here is how a thorough crawl space cleanout can benefit you.

Crawl space cleaning services for fresh air in your whole home

Just like with attic cleaning, your crawl space might be out of sight, but it shouldn’t be out of mind. It has a significant effect on your home’s air quality since up to 50% of the air you breathe on the first floor comes from your crawl space. Therefore, a clean, dry crawl space translates into cleaner, healthier air in your home.

Cleaning for mold and rodent control

We often forget about our real estate service areas. And yet, a poorly maintained crawl space can become a breeding ground for mold, mildew, pests, and rodents, which could lead to structural damage and potential health hazards. Regular crawl space inspection and cleaning include mold removal and basement waterproofing services. This protects your home and ultimately saves you time and money on a future costly crawl space repair.

Improved indoor air quality 

As part of our crawl space remediation services, we will remove mold and mildew as well as pests and rodents. This significantly improves the air quality in your home and reduces the risk of allergies and respiratory issues. If you have a vented crawl space, the air from the it is vented into the rest of the house. You certainly don’t want to breathe in mold spores!

Just like mold, rodents and other animals love dark and humid places. Damp areas are a breeding ground for termites, carpenter bees, and other unwelcome visitors. When you breathe in the air from your crawl space, you don’t want it to carry any unpleasant odors and potentially harmful compounds from rodent droppings. 

Energy efficiency

By cleaning and properly insulating your crawl space with vapor barriers and other means, we can reduce drafts and heat loss in your home. This can lead to lower energy bills and more efficient heating and cooling. 

A clean crawl space is an excellent starting point if you plan on installing a crawl space vapor barrier or sealing and insulating your crawl area. It helps our insulating crew get a good grasp on vents, leaks, and openings so they can close them and insulate the area properly. 

Prevention of pest infestations 

Regular cleaning helps deter pests and rodents, protecting not just your crawl space but your entire home from potential damage. Crawl cleaning involves getting rid of unwelcome visitors and finding their entry points so that we can block them. 

Increased home value 

A clean, well-maintained crawl space can be a great selling point if you ever decide to sell your home. It indicates a well-cared-for home and can increase your property value.
