Unfortunately for this homeowner, even with an encapsulated crawl space, the rodents found there way in. Rodents leave droppings and urine everywhere. They also destroy the insulation under the home. Much of the health of your home comes from the crawl space so it is important to keep it clean. The crawlspace contributes to much of the air you breathe in your home. Fortunately, with an encapsulated crawlspace, it is much easier to clean-up a rodent problem, but before we do any clean-up a rodent specialist needs to be called to solve the root of the problems with rodents entering the crawlspace, then we can come and sanitize and clean the entire crawlspace! Good job by the homeowner noticing this and the crews getting it all cleaned up.
Many crawl spaces have moisture issues. A lot also get up to 3 feet of water that floods the crawl space. This is why it is so important to make sure before any crawl space issues are fixed we must ensure the crawl space has proper drainage. In this picture, you can see one way we make sure if any water enters the crawl space gets pumped out. We dig trenching where water would collect and install perforated pipe then fill it with rock. The pipe runs to a sump pump to be pumped a safe distance away from the home.
Doree's Point Reyes Station, CA, home harbored a hidden menace: a rodent infestation that had taken over her crawlspace. Droppings littered the floor, the pungent smell of urine and saliva hung heavy in the air, and gnawed insulation lay testament to their destructive reign. This wasn't just about property damage – Doree's health was at risk. But a call to Clean Crawlspace changed everything.
The Clean Crawlspace’s team’s first order of business was swift and thorough. Rodent droppings were meticulously removed, eliminating the immediate health hazard. But Clean Crawlspace understood that true sanitation meant addressing the source. The entire crawlspace was encapsulated, creating a barrier against moisture, the very element that had attracted the unwelcome rodents in the first place.
The result? A dry, pristine haven, free from furry fiends and their malodorous mess. Doree could finally breathe easy, both literally and figuratively, knowing her Point Reyes Station, CA, home was no longer a haven for vermin, but a safe and healthy sanctuary.
Located on a slope and exposed to the strong Pacific Ocean breeze, moisture, and salt, Peter M's home faced a significant challenge as the rodents had destroyed the insulation, which is crucial for protecting the home and maintaining a comfortable temperature within. Clean Crawlspace effectively cleaned up the area, removed the contaminated insulation, and reattached any loose components. Peter M was extremely satisfied with the professionalism exhibited by Clean Crawlspace, recognizing the critical importance of their services, especially in a coastal environment where the ocean air can further exacerbate the issues caused by the rodents.
Unfortunately, in 2019 this home suffered from a major amount of water entering their crawl space. It is a cinderblock foundation home and water fully filled the home, as well as 3 inches above the floors. We came out with our pump truck and fully pumped out the water, then installed dehumidifiers to fully dry out the home and crawl space. Then we did some repair work to the home. To end it off we installed a sump pump and fully encapsulated the crawl space to be able to handle any water that may enter in the future. Job well done overall!
