Why does a dirty crawl space matter?
The crawl space is the open area under your home. Most people never look down there. That is a problem, because the air under your home rises up into the rooms you live in.
Moisture forms fast in tight, closed spaces. A damp dirt crawl space is a perfect breeding ground for mold. Mold and damp can spread into your home and eat away at your insulation.
Here in Bakersfield and across Kern County, pests like rats and bugs love a dark, damp crawl space too. They nest there, leave droppings, and chew on what they find. Cleaning it out keeps your home healthier and your air fresher.
What are the signs your crawl space needs cleanup?
You cannot always see the trouble under your home, but you can feel it. Here is what to watch for. If you notice any of these, call us for a free check.
- A musty, damp smell in your floors or vents
- More mold or mildew showing up inside the home
- Wet spots, leaks, or standing water under the house
- Droppings or nests from rats and mice
- Sagging or torn insulation hanging under the floor
- Cold, drafty floors and higher energy bills
How does ExcludeTech clean a crawl space?
We do more than poke around and leave. We take the whole space down to clean and dry. Here is how it works, step by step.
- Free inspection. We go under the home and check for damp spots, mold, leaks, and pests.
- Clear it out. We remove the clutter, debris, old nests, and ruined insulation, using a special vacuum where we need to.
- Treat the trouble. We treat molded areas and other problem spots so the damage stops spreading.
- Seal and protect. We set a new vapor barrier and seal the entry points to lower the humidity and keep pests out.
- Haul it away. We toss out all the leftover debris so you are left with a clean, dry crawl space. Every job is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
What does a full crawl space cleanup include?
A real cleanup is more than sweeping the dirt. It means handling the moisture, the mess, and the pests all at once so the space stays clean.
Crawl space work goes hand in hand with our other services. If pests got in or your insulation is ruined, we can take care of that too:
- A new vapor barrier to block moisture from the ground
- Mold treatment and full debris removal
- Sealed vents and gaps to keep critters out
