The purpose of a crawl space evaluation is to identify problems in your crawl space, or factors that could lead to problems later on. When one of our specialists here at Smoky Mountain Crawlspace Systems comes out for your FREE evaluation, they will be looking for any of the following variables on this list:
- Signs of insect or small animal infestations and any resulting damage done.
- Evidence of moisture damage, such as dampness in the insulation, condensation, and structures that are beginning to warp.
- Sightings of mold growth anywhere in the crawl space including musty smells.
- Problems with the wiring of the home or plumbing systems.
- Issues present with the foundation like cracking or settling/shifting.
- Proof of hazardous materials commonly found in a crawl space such as asbestos or formaldehyde.
- Status and quality of any current vapor barriers from previous installations.
These things are only some of what our competent crawl space professionals look for while evaluating your crawl space. The entryway to the crawl space is the first thing to be assessed, as a number of structures don’t allow for a safe way into the crawl space at all! There can be damage to the door or a host of other obstructions that the homeowner may be calling about in the first place.
Once your local specialists completes the evaluation, they will discuss the findings with you and collaborate to choose the most efficient and effective strategy to repair, encapsulate, or perform an array of other beneficial services on your crawl space.
The entryway to your crawl space is a crucial point of assessment during our evaluation process. In some cases, structural limitations might restrict safe access altogether. We also carefully inspect the crawl space door, which can often be a primary source of concern for homeowners. Damaged doors or other obstructions may be the reason for your initial call for assistance.
After a thorough evaluation, our dedicated professionals will discuss their findings with you. We believe in open communication and collaboration, ensuring that you have a clear understanding of the situation. Together, we will choose the most efficient and effective strategy to address the specific needs of your crawl space. Whether it’s repairs, encapsulation, moisture control, or other essential services, we’re here to provide comprehensive solutions for a healthier and more secure home.
