Let’s face it: when it comes to home maintenance, your crawlspace isn’t always the first thing you think about. But no part of your home is as dark and damp, which makes it a prime breeding ground for mold and pests that can contaminate the air in your home and cause serious structural damage.
Our humid Washington soil is constantly giving off water vapor. Factor in our rainy climate and you have an abundant amount of moisture to support unwanted decay or infestation. Since warm, moist air naturally rises, it can easily enter the home and be dispersed by your heating and cooling ventilation systems, along with whatever contaminants it carries.
Fischer Restoration's crawlspace specialists can thoroughly inspect and clean your crawlspace as well as repair common problems that, if left unchecked, can negatively affect your health and comfort. We offer several services to ensure your home is protected from below:
It’s important to note that not all crawlspaces are the same. They can have dirt or concrete floors. They may or may not have proper insulation or vapor barriers. Our specialists take everything into consideration when developing a plan of action specifically for your home.
Crawlspace problems tend to go unnoticed because their impact is more gradual than a flooded basement or sewage leak, but they can be just as detrimental. That’s why it is important to be proactive. Having your crawlspace cleaned and inspected now can mean a lot less trouble later. Call Fischer Restoration and rest assured.
There are many advantages to having a crawlspace. You can access the plumbing and electrical systems, as well as the substructure, from a crawlspace - as opposed to tearing through floors and walls to get to them. They also make good storage areas, if you're careful as to how and what you store down there. However, there are also disadvantages, and cleaning is the biggest. They're called "crawlspaces" for a reason - some are only one foot tall! They also have to be cleaned regularly.
Hot air rises and, as it cools, creates a vacuum which sucks air from your crawlspace. Without proper and periodic cleaning, the air in your home becomes laden with mold spores, dust - even fecal matter! Obviously unpleasant, this can also result in health issues. Over time, rodents find a way in and chew through the moisture barrier or water leaks down there creating problems which Fischer Restoration can fix. From sewage losses in the crawlspace, to general cleaning including replacing the moisture barrier, we can take care of it quickly and professionally.
Fischer Restoration is not just a crawlspace cleaning company we do water damage restoration, drywall repair, and are part of a large plumbing company so we can take care of any problems we find down there. While there are companies that can clean your basement, Fischer Restoration provides a more comprehensive service.
Because they are not just a crawlspace cleaning company, Fischer can identify larger issues with your home that a mere crawlspace cleaning company would overlook. Leaking pipes and gutters, and insect infestations are just some of the issues Fischer Restoration workers can not only identify but handle.
