What is a Crawl Space Inspection?
A crawl space inspection involves one of our experts thoroughly examining the area beneath your house to identify issues that can affect a home’s integrity and the quality of life of those inside.
We check for things like moisture levels, pests, and structural weaknesses.
A detailed report is presented that includes suggestions for addressing issues.
Often, crawl space encapsulation is used to tackle the problem—we seal the area to prevent moisture and pests from entering. This involves covering the floor, walls, and sometimes the ceiling of the crawl space with a heavy-duty polyethylene barrier. The process also includes sealing vents, installing insulation, and often adding a dehumidifier to control moisture levels.

Why You Need a Residential Crawl Space Inspection
A home’s crawl space is often neglected because it’s out of sight and out of mind. Yet, it’s something that can highly affect quality of life. An inspection is something you should consider when buying/selling a home or when you begin to notice signs it’s causing problems.
Catch Issues Early on
A crawl space inspection can identify issues before they become major problems. Inspectors check for moisture damage, mold growth, pest infestations, and more. Catching these things early can prevent bigger, costlier issues.
Improve the Air Quality
Your crawl space affects the air you breathe inside your home. A professional inspection can detect sources of musty odors, mold that can cause health issues, and problems with the insulation or ventilation that amplify these issues.
Save on Energy Costs
A well-maintained crawl space contributes to your home’s energy efficiency. Lackluster insulation and air leaks let musty odors and mold through the floor. Likewise, it seeps up through and makes the inside of your home muggier. Fixing these issues can cut your energy bills by almost 20%.

We inspect crawl spaces frequently, giving us a keen understanding of crawl space conditions affecting New River Valley homes. The rainy and foggy NRV climate can lead to mold growth in these spaces. Critters and pests, too, may find their way underneath.

- We install floor liners based on ground conditions and customer preference.
- With a thermal hygrometer that we will install, you can monitor your temperature and humidity levels without entering the crawl space. An air inducer will also regulate temperature and humidity in the crawl space.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I get my home’s crawl space inspected?
Generally, you should aim to get a crawl space inspection at least once a year. That may come as a surprise for a space you rarely think about, but there are a few reasons for this. Seasons change, and this can lead to variable moisture levels and potential standing water. It’s good to keep an eye on this so you can take action before it’s a problem. Likewise, crawl spaces are an ideal home for critters and pests. An inspection can catch this before it’s a full-blown invasion.
How long does the inspection take?
A crawl space inspection takes about an hour or two to complete but this also depends on the size and complexity of your home and its crawl space. Sometimes we can do the inspection quickly – taking about 30 minutes or less. Other times, it may take many hours because of a space’s condition, how detailed we need to be, use of specialized equipment, and having to navigate tight spaces and other challenges.
Can I do it myself or hire a professional?
A spot check is something anyone can do but you probably don’t have the understanding and expertise to truly get the big picture of your crawl space’s health. Our pros have that knowledge, handy tools, and proper safety equipment to thoroughly assess issues. Plus, we don’t mind getting into those dirty, nasty, often pest-infested spaces to do the inspection.
Where all do you service?
We’re central to Roanoke, Virginia, but our service area extends throughout most of the state. We’d be happy to come out to your location to do an inspection and provide information on crawl space solutions.
Is encapsulating a crawl space worth it?
Crawl space encapsulation is the typical service homeowners in Roanoke choose after having an inspection done. What we’ve found is that encapsulation is highly beneficial for those in humid or flood-prone areas, or if you have an older house. The encapsulation creates better air quality, lowers energy consumption, and can boost the value of the home. It also addresses pests and critter problems. In all, it’s a valuable investment especially for those homeowners who will be settled in for many years to come.
