Crawlspace Doctor

Description of Work: The provider removed the old insulation and installed new then applied a 16 mil covering to seal/encapsulate the crawl space under the house. They also sealed up 5 vents to make the crawlspace moisture free and sealed from everything. The other thing it did was give us a clean expansive place for long term storage sealed from ALL the elements. They securely attached the insulation with a nail gun and anchored it solidly to the concrete walls and blocks.

Description of Work: When inspection was done prior to selling the house, he found a large area in our crawlspace which raccoons had inhabited and made a huge mess. It is a very large crawlspace and they came in and completely cleaned out the entire area, sanitized, spread a thick treated plastic covering on the entire floor and wall area and re-insulated the entire crawl space.

Description of Work: They installed a French drain around the outer walls and put in a sump pump in our basement in order to provide basement waterproofing.

Description of Work: Matt added two floor joists in our crawl space that had been previously damaged due to termite activity.

Description of Work: I had not heard the sump pump in the crawl space working for a couple of days although we had had heavy rain. I called Crawlspace Doctor early this morning. Matt was in a store at the time but said he would call back. He returned my call promptly. When I spoke to him again, he said he would send someone out to inspect the sump pump in the afternoon.

Description of Work: I had a french drain installed, a new sump pump with alarm installed, the crawl space encapsulated, and insulation placed in box headers throughout crawl space.

Description of Work: I am not in his service area, so no work performed.

Description of Work: They installed a new pit and sump pump and installed a perimeter drain in our crawl space. They trimmed the damaged, wet insulation and distributed the pea gravel .

Description of Work: All my wood underneath my seal and bandboard had rotted, as we built the house before they had treated lumber. He replaced all of that and some of the floor joists that needed to be replaced. He put in plastic everywhere, put in two sump pumps and a vent in my heating ducts to help keep the temperature stable. He sealed off all my outside vents.

Description of Work: A crack in our foundation was found on an inspection report. Matt came out to give us an estimate.

Description of Work: Sorry this is so late! Removed old sewage pipes from crawl space. Cleaned up and disinfected the crawl space. I think they also laid down a new vapor barrier.

Description of Work: Crawlspace Doctor came to my home on 03/22/2013. They contacted me the same day when I left an inquiry about their service on the internet. They showed up at the ageed time. Shannon was the job site supervisor that came. He spent about 2 hours at my house inspecting the crawlspace and going over his estimate. I had done a lot of research and I felt that Shannon answered my questions to my satisfaction. Their price was below my expectations and the work that he quoted appeared to be beyond my expectations. Shannon explained to me that they were experiencing a great deal of work and were about a month away before they could start our work. I am awaiting further contact from Matt about partial payment before they start the work.This was my first contact with a contractor after joining Angie's List last week. I am very pleased so far. Shannon came out to start the work on Saturday April 13, 2012. He worked All day on Saturday, Sunday, and finished on the afternoon of Monday April 15th. Shannon provided me with a great deal of useful information. He made several changes for me with no problem or additional cost. I did pay an additional $300.00 to have the thicker 15mil plastic put on the floor. It was well worth the extra expense. They normally put 15mil plastic on the walls and 10mil on the floors. The company removed excess foam insulation from the crawlspace block and sealed the existing vents for the crawlspace. They then insulated with R-19 the top of the crawlspace interior. The walls were covered with 15mil plastic and secured below the sill plate with 2"x1" wood trim bolted to the concrete block. The floor was then added with the 15mil and was then sealed to the wall seams. All seams were taped with a special 4" wide water proof tape. All pipe going in and out of the block walls were covered and sealed with the special tape. Both of the sump pump pits were sealed and all the TV cables were secured to the floor joist. A special insulated crawlspace door and frame were installed with a special locking system. Shannon also advised that the door could be tied into the alarm system if I wanted. All of the old plastic on the floor, old insulation, and materials were removed and hauled away by Shannon. The vent was also added to the plenum for the heating and cooling. This allows for the crawlspace to be heated and air conditioned. Shannon advised that this actually saves heating and cooling cost.

Description of Work: Removed all insulation and debris and hauled it away. Installed drainage system, insulation on box headers, new sump pit, and reinforced an area where the floor above was sagging. Took care of erosion around the sump pit. Tied up all wiring that was on the ground and reattached heating vent hoses that had come off.

Description of Work: Insulate crawlspace.

Description of Work: Sagging foundation

Description of Work: Matt and his crew had put in another sump pit with 2 additional sump pumps that ties in to our other sump pit, because we live by a creek. They put this in over a year ago, but it really got tested over the weekend when we got 4 inches of rain. Everything worked as planned. Matt stopped by today because we asked him to re-check one of the pumps and change the float height. He came over very promptly, as he always does. He is always very nice to work with and answers all our questions when they arise. He did not charge us for this service call because he said he was just rechecking things.

Description of Work: Resupport sub-floors

Description of Work: The Crawlspace Doctor company removed existing debris, removed old vapor barrier, removed old insulation, hung up all wires and cables, blocked off foundation vents, installed new register vents, insulated box headers and encapsulated all 3 crawlspaces.

Description of Work: The crawlspace at my renovated home has had an odor coming up through the house for the past several months. The odor seemed to be getting worst and I was not sure who to call. I went through Angie's list as to see what company best to call to resolve the problem and the reviews of Crawlspace Doctor encouraged me to call them. On Thrursday, 1/10/13, Shannon from the company arrived promptly as scheduled. He checked the house and the crawl area thoroughtly and was certain it was sewer gas. He called his associate, Troy, to come and assist him as Troy was at another job site. Troy went down and thoroughly inspected the crawlspace and found in a far corner an old uncapped sewer vent. He provided a cover for the sewer vent and sealed it. Immediately, there was a significant improvement in the overall air quality of the house. They made some additional suggestions regarding the foundation that were helpful.

Description of Work: There was water in our crawlspace that we have been dealing with for awhile. A draininage system and wood repair was done.

Description of Work: Called Matt to just come out and double check to make the sure the sump pump was operating okay as it has been almost two years since he completed the work. Everything has been working fine since completion but i just wanted assurance that everything was still okay. He came out the next morning and went under the house to double check everything and assure me that it was fine. I really appreciated his immediate response to my request. Matt Dieters is a fine person to work with and very honest. I hardily recommend him for any craw; space job. Bob Grover
