Crawlspace Doctor

Basement Waterproofing, Drain Pipe Installation, Handyman Services,

About us

I have been in the home building business in the Huntsville AL area for the past 15 years. I have always noticed the need to control humidity and mold issues in home design. Designing crawlspaces with foundation vents used to be code and all builders had to abide by the code. Fortunately the codes have changed. I see the need for unvented, conditioned crawlspaces in the Huntsville area. Not only does a conditioned crawlspace allow for the control of mold growth but also allows for the most energy efficient crawlspace possible. I have joined the Crawlspace Doctor team to gain their knowledge and for the support of an expanding Corporation.

I had puddles of standing water under my house for a year. The plumber found no leaks and said it would evaporate in the summer. Well it didn't and I called Crawlspace Doctor of Huntsville, Alabama. Sawyer Williams was great at explaining the issue and the costs, and it was a no pressure visit. He explained to me the four causes of water in a crawlspace and suggested the best way to SOLVE the problem, not put a band aid on it. They have just finished a full encapsulation, sump pump, and dehumidifier with a digital thermostat I can monitor from in my home. The workmen came out on schedule - were friendly, responsible, and efficient. Sawyer came back to get under the house and inspect their work. I was VERY pleased with the results, and would recommend Crawlspace Doctor of Huntsville, Alabama highly.

They called every-time to make sure my dogs were not in yard as I requested. They kept my yard clean every day . I would highly recommend they do fantastic work.I would gladly show my crawlspace to anyone interested in hiring them.

The workers were very professional and the owner of the company was here every day to ensure everything went properly which was very reassuring.
Description of Work: We had standing water and mold in our crawlspace. I had estimates from two other companies, but they were only able to remove the water and mold. Crawlspace Doctor was recommended to us by a foundation specialist I trust, and they had the capability to encapsulate the crawlspace and install a sump pump and dehumidifier so we should not have the same problem in the future. It was expensive, but we feel having the complete job performed was the correct way to go.

I contacted the Crawlspace Doctors for an estimate in June of 2017. Nick Williams gave the estimate and was very professional, courteous, and upfront about pricing and what he thought I needed rather than trying to sell me the most expensive package. He had given me a previous estimate in 2015 and he honored that same price even though the current estimate would have been more expensive due to their upgrade in materials and equipment. Nick also explained it might be several weeks before they could start work but he maintained contact with me until a crew could arrive at the house. Ben Hovey came with his crew in August and completed the work in two days as promised. They removed the old insulation, vapor barrier, and all of the old debris. They installed a new vapor barrier, a sump pump, and dehumidifier and completely cleaned up their work space with no disruptions at all. They contacted their electrician who connected the electrical equipment to the house a few weeks later. I couldn't be happier with the Crawlspace Doctors and the great work they did - I highly recommend them!
Description of Work: I was interested in having the crawlspace to our home encapsulated with a vapor barrier due to some noticeable mold problems and some buckling in the floor to our kitchen.

I found the Crawl Space Doctor and I gave them a call they came out and explained in detail what was required to be completed. Parts were ordered and a date was set to begin the work. I was so impressed with their professionalism, and explained what work was going to be done each day. I know I spent alot of money to have this worked completed and it was worth EVERY CENT. There is no longer any smell and my floors are warmer. The detail work that went into completing this work is EXTREMELY HARD WORK and it is done by hand
Description of Work: My crawl space was retaining water even though we had a sump pump which caused excessive mold, installation that no longer served its purpose and wiring that served no purpose. Also my house had sunk which needed fixing. I also needed my detached garage fixed as it had begun leaning.

The work team was professional and efficient, making sure they cleaned up after themselves each day. Other service professionals have commented on what an excellent job the Crawlspace Doctor did with sealing our basement. One comment was "it's so clean down there you could eat off the floor" although I won't test that out. This was money well spent.
Description of Work: Removed old vapor barrier and insulation, then encapsulated the entire crawlspace, installed register vents, and replaced the exterior door to the crawlspace.

I had a mold and water issue under my 2,700 SqFt ranch home found by an HVAC contractor. I had both AFS and Crawlspace Dr provide quotes for identical repair and remediation. The only difference was a small difference in the thickness of the liner material. AFS was substantially higher and used very high pressure sales techniques. So I went with Crawlspace DR. They were timely every day and worked with the HVAC contractor to complete the total crawlspace repair. They dug a drainage system and installed two sump pumps prior to soda blasting the entire Crawlspace. The space was then encapsulated and dehumidifier installed with new electrical circuits and water alarms in the garage. I can't say enough about how they walked me through the whole process and accommodated my schedule for the repair. I would use them and recommend them any time.

Great job and great people to work with. They explained the issues that needed to be addressed, the options available for each issue, and their experiences and lessons-learned in dealing with these problems over the years. They showed up on schedule with the owner overseeing the work, and they finished a little ahead of schedule. The price was very reasonable and every aspect of the job and the cleanup was professionally done.

Excellent work by a very professional and extremely competent company. Nick and Ben run a top notch outfit and were extremely flexible with their schedule to accommodate changes driven by a failed HVAC unit. I cannot say enough good things about these guys. From the upfront manner in which Nick explained what needed to be done and how we could cut costs to how their team was always on time and never left a mess to interfere with our daily schedule. Highly recommend them for anyone that needs crawlspace work.

Description of Work: Nick Williams and the Crawl Space Doctor did an excellent job! When Nick inspected my property he found that the company prior did not do the job correctly. He took pictures and told me to contact the company that they should correct or he would do it. I did get AFS to fix the job that did not do correct the first time. Nick and the boys removed mold and cleaned up my crawl space. He is the best and I would recommend Crawl Space Doctor to anyone. They were honest dependable and the price was very good in comparison to others.

The Crawlspace Doctor performed all of the work per the contract. Because my crawlspace was quite irregular, I opted to have them hand level the space which require a full day to complete. The encapsulation procedure is extremely labor intensive. Their crew worked very hard for four days to complete the task. They were supervised most all of the time by the owner or his partner. All of the debris was quickly hauled to the dump. Encapsulation certainly isn't cheap to have this done but you definitely get what you pay for. I had several quotes and their price was pretty much in the middle of the range. I them based upon their practical approach to the job, their experience and they use a single crew supervised by the owner. After completion of the job the owner took me through the crawlspace to explain everything that was done. The workmanship was very impressive. Since the encapsulation, the musty smells are gone. It has been quite a revelation to me. I am not particularly allergic to anything but my wife and daughter are an they've been sneezing a whole lot less.
Description of Work: hand leveled and encapsulated my home's crawlspace including installation of an automatic sump pump with high water alarm and an automatic dehumidifier installed three downspout pop-up drains to keep water away from my foundation.

Description of Work: The workers, four plus a supervisor, arrived on time every day for five days. They were courteous and quiet. The job was to remove crawlspace insulation and plastic ground cover, smooth the roughest ground, install a French drain at the base of the footing where water had stood before. They totally encapsulated the crawlspace with new plastic sheeting, installed a sump pump and a dehumidifier. They discovered numerous small leaks in the copper pipes and informed me so that I could have a plumber come out and fix them. New wooden doors were made and installed at two openings to the crawlspace. Everything was accomplished to my total satisfaction.

They did some work done to our house. They did a fair estimate and did the work for the amount of money that they quoted. They did it in a reasonable time. It’s been a little over a year ago when they did that. The rough estimate cost of service is about $8000. They did some pumps, lining, French drains – that all run all the room inside of the foundation and lined the whole thing with plastic. In the middle of determining I had some weakness in lot of course and I thought maybe they had removed some structure. I ask them two weeks ago to come by and take a look and I think it takes a little longer than it should for them to come and check it out. They are just busy but still an “A” they have been yesterday. For the price – Good, well it’s half with another quote for the same job.

The work was first class, timely and professional. The crew was on time and very neat. I could not be more pleased with the quality and results. I had another quote from AFS which was significantly higher and the company misrepresented the payment method. Mr. Hovey and the workers were always on time and very tidy. Nick Williams provided the overview and methodology. He provided a CD ROM with before and after pictures. I would give this company the highest recommendation for honesty, ethics, prompt and professional service and very reasonable price.
