Know what's happening beneath your home. A professional inspection identifies issues before they become expensive problems.
What is Crawl Space Inspection?
A crawl space inspection is a thorough evaluation of the space beneath your home, examining moisture levels, structural integrity, insulation condition, pest activity, ventilation, and existing moisture barriers. Most homeowners have never been in their crawl space — a professional inspection reveals hidden issues that affect your home's health, safety, energy efficiency, and value. Many contractors offer free inspections as part of their estimate process.
