Crawl Space cleaning & MAINTENANCE

One of the most difficult spaces of your home to clean is the crawl space. A crawl space is a beneficial space to homeowners to neatly hold duct work, electrical conduit and plumbing that would otherwise take up living space in your home. Crawl spaces can also save time and money when problems arise, avoiding large ticket repair costs like excavation. The cost to build a crawl space foundation, as opposed to a full basement can be 8-10 times cheaper. However, maintenance practices for crawl spaces are frequently overlooked due to their unappealing nature. The oversight often results in much bigger issues that could have been prevented.

A smart way to protect one of your largest assets is by maintaining a crawlspace that is free of excess debris and moisture. Due the nature of crawl spaces – typically dirt floors that are tight (as small as 24” wide and 18” tall) and poorly lit – these confined spaces are not ideal or safe to work in for an untrained professional. Aftermath understands the difficulty of working in these confined space environments and provide professional cleaning service to remediate common problems within crawl spaces to protect your home.

Disease brought on by rodent activity (Hantavirus).
Insulation deterioration caused by moisture resulting in heat loss and increased energy costs.
