When Vancouver homeowners call
- After buying a home and seeing the inspection report
- Before a vapor barrier or encapsulation project
- After animals have gotten in
- When insulation has fallen and is lying on the ground
What happens on cleanout day
We protect the path from the crawl space hatch to the outside, then work from the far end of the crawl space back toward the opening. Old plastic is cut and rolled, insulation is bagged, and debris is carried out and loaded for disposal. As areas are cleared, we note anything that needs attention — damaged framing, pest entry points, signs of water — and photograph it. At the end, we walk you through what we found and what we recommend, if anything. For most Vancouver homes, the next step is a new barrier, insulation or both.
What we remove
Old plastic, fallen and damaged insulation, construction debris and trash — all hauled away. We confirm the scope with you first.
A clear view
With the space clear, we can show you the condition of the framing, posts and piers and point out anything worth addressing.

Buying or selling
A cleaned-out crawl space makes inspections easier and shows buyers you've taken care of the home. If you're selling, ask about pairing a cleanout with a new barrier.
