Crawlspace Doctor was established in Bloomington, Indiana in 2002. Crawlspace Doctor was one of the first companies in the country to exclusively implement the practice of conditioned/ un-vented crawlspaces. We were perfecting our methods when almost everyone else still believed in vented crawlspaces. Over time conditioned crawlspaces became the preferred method for constructing crawlspaces under homes. The process of conditioning a crawlspace is so successful it created an entire new industry. As a leader in the industry we pride ourselves in providing a large variety of products to fit our clients individual needs. We will NEVER be a company that supplies only one solution with one product for every need. We constantly work with manufactures and suppliers to provide the best and most cost effective products available.
They came out when promised to give us an estimate. Stated what they needed to do and would be out after the job they were working on was done. They called when said they would and was out to do the job when they stated. It only took 1 day to fix. I am pleased with the work. The cost was the estimate amount no more.
Description of Work: Crawl space. Found a leak under house that we were not aware of, had to get a plummer for that. Sealed in areas that was leaking from out side when it rained. Installed a dehumidifier with it draining outside. spayed for mold - cleaned out items in the crawlspace - came back and checked to make sure working.

Very impressed with the thoroughness and professionalism of this company and its employees; Shannon, Roy, and James. A detailed estimate of the work and options was provided, along with numerous photos of what what was needed; i.e. "before pictures". The sales approach was very informative. Shannon took the time to explain everything and answer questions, including follow-up questions, without any pressure sales. Work was scheduled within a couple weeks of agreeing to the contract and met my schedule. Installation was much the same. Both Roy and James were very professional, courteous, thorough, and knowledgable. Work was done per contract and within the stated timeframe. Quality was excellent. Did not require any oversight by me as these individuals were focused on the work and doing it right. Everything was cleaned up when they were finished, including returning numerous items to the crawl space for storage. Best of all, there were no surprises, which reflects the thoroughness of the original estimate as well as the professionalism of this team. Final walkthrough and photos were provided, reflecting the quality work. These guys did a great job and I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Crawl space insulation was in need of repair/replacement due to age and damage from mice/chipmunks. Removed old insulation, debris, and vapor barrier. Insulated foundation walls and box headers. Blocked off foundation vents and encapsulated, along with some minor foundation repairs.

I scheduled the evaluation with Matt because I knew I had mold problems and suspected the crawlspace as the root cause. Matt confirmed this and even recommended a great mold remediation contractor then worked together with that contractor for scheduling the cleanup and waterproofing tasks. Matt took time to explain my needs and was always available to answer any questions along the way.

I can't say enough good things about this company. I was having mold remediation done by another company and they suggested Crawlspace Doctor for the repair. Matt listened carefully to my expectations and budget concerns. He worked with the mold remediation company to come up with a bid that didn't duplicate any work between the two of them and, thus, fell within my budget. He was honest about when he could schedule and worked with me to schedule a time between the estate sale and the painters. His crew was professional and hardworking. They kept me apprised of the work every step of the way. The work was done right and completed on time with no headaches. How often can you say that? I would recommend this company without hesitation. *On a side note, Matt is the one that suggested Angie's List to me before he even bid on the job. Only someone who was confident that he was going to do things right for the right price would suggest a place where I could find his competition.

Everyone at Crawlspace Doctors was a pleasure to have here to help us resolve the problems that another contractor had down halfway. They had the best solution to the majority of our 7+ year problems. We have had all manner of estimates and plans for our water issues. They gave us a very fair estimate and used solid piping...Matt said if I had any questions or concerns to let him know right away. I did and he was so patient and courteous. Everything is as they said it would be. They gave me great service and I would call them again. They made me happy once again as they also can replace my window wells and covers and raise them up on the concrete wall. This will help immensely with getting the ground level to slope away from our house. Finding contractors to even replace window wells is like a foreign subject to most.. but .Matt said that it would be no problem. They have lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. Special thanks to Shannon and Darryl (hope I spelled correctly) for all they did as well. I would not hesitate to call them.
Description of Work: Solid pipe drains were run from our downspouts to a drainage area at the edge of our backyard. Additionally our sump pump drainage line from the basement was re-routed from the back patio door (originally coming through the siding and running the length of the back of the house above ground ---so unsightly) to inside the house in the crawl space and Crawl Space Doctors ran through the concrete underground and the line is run all underground like the others.

Description of Work: We had identified some excessive moisture in our crawl space earlier this year and wanted to get it resolved quickly. The Crawl Space Doctor folks came in and installed a heavy moisture barrier throughout the crawl space, and re-insulated some pocket areas where the insulation hand degraded over time or fallen out of place.

They came out and did a thorough estimate for encapsulating our crawl space. They had to start a day later than planned but gave enough heads up to adjust. They cleaned up before they left everyday and gave detailed updates. It took a little longer than was discussed but that was mostly due to the additional cleanup and new entrance work done, where they went above and beyond to match the shape to our field stone house and depth of the entrance. I crawled through after the work was complete and was amazed at the difference. When I noticed a small problem with the duct work, I called they were back out within two hours to fix it. Great workmanship and responsiveness.

I recommend him. He came out and gave us an estimate and was out within a week to do the job. He did an excellent job. We were very happy with him. He was not contracted to clean out the crawlspace but he did. He put every bit of the trash in bags and was going to take it to the landfill and pay for it out of his pocket. It's drained very well since he fixed it. He put an alarm on it so we know if it's not draining right.
Description of Work: He went in the crawlspace and put in a french drain, recovered the whole crawlspace with bisqueen and cleaned the entire crawlspace.

They provided me the best price from the other estimates and even came in under the estimate with the final total. The crew did a fantastic job! They were practically running between the crawl space and their truck. The owner, Matt, came to check up on the crew and was always friendly. They provided a 20 year warranty that is transferrable to new owners of the home. I just feel really good about the whole job.

Area was dirt crawl area next to a partial basement that needed cleaned up and something to contain the open ground. Area is much brighter since the insulating material was white and certainly, much cleaner. Material was applied up the sidewalls of the space which also helps insulate the area.
Description of Work: Covered crawl space with insulation and mortared brick support columns. Cleaned debris, i.e., old plastic and metal piping, cardboard, etc. that had accumulated over several years prior to covering the space.

Matt's great to work with. His team installed a sump pump and conditioned my crawl space a couple of years ago. Yesterday my HVAC guy came to check on a drain. He thought there was water in the crawl and didn't do the work. I called Matt today and he went to check on things within 10 minutes of my initial call! Wow! Talk about responsive. Matt reported back within 30 minutes of my initial call that everything was fine in my crawl space. He suspected that the HVAC guy saw the plastic upon opening the crawl space and assumed the reflection was water. Matt also installed the additional piping on the drain to make sure the water goes where it's supposed to from now on. All at no charge. I couldn't be happier with his responsiveness.

I'm very pleased with their work. They explained the procedures and what needed to be done on a step-by-step basis so I understood what needed to be done and when. They were very efficient, very thorough, and very professional.
Description of Work: I had them break down everything they needed to do in two stages which was my recommendation. They completed one stage in September and came back in December to complete the second stage. When they were here in September they removed debris and removed insulation in the crawl space. They organized the wires and cables in the crawl space. They installed a perimter drainage system, they installed a french drain, they installed a sump pit, they installed a new sump pump, and they installed a sump pump alarm. When they came to do the second stage of the project in December they blocked off foundation vents. They installed a register vent, they encapsulated the crawl space with a 10 millimeter liner, they installed a new door to the crawl space, and on the entry to the crawl space and in front of the door they enlarged the well that you get down into before entering the crawl space. The drainage line from the sump pump was extended and changed in a different direction underneath the front yard to the drainage ditch in front of the house.

An inspector arrived on time for the inspection, took detailed pictures of the entire crawspace, discussed the options available, if they were to do the work. I signed the contract and was given a date for the work to be done. The workers showed up on time the given date and performed the work in the projected number of days. They were professional, cleaned up after themselves. Very pleasant to talk to, answering any questions I had on what exactly they were doing. I am well satisfied with the total job they did.

We had been having a problem with sewer gas odors. Several plumbers suggested the crawl space portion of our basement as the source of the odors. As it turned out, this was not the source. However, our crawl space did need cleaning. Crawl Space Doctor gave a reasonable estimate for the cleaning and laid down an insulating barrier to help keep out moisture, odors and unwanted critters. We now have a sizeable storage area in our crawl space, that is clean and dry. Though it turned out not to be "necessary", we're delighted to have it cleaned up and made somewhat usable as well as protected from the elements. Plus we'll get a tax deduction as a bonus.

If it has anything to do with crawlspace, basements, being wet, having mold Crawlspace Doctors has been the only company I have been able to trust and they have proven that they are worthy of that trust. My only "don't" would be, don't call anyone else.
Description of Work: Our builder installed insulation in our crawlspace backward, the dryer vent some how detached and after a few years we noticed a bad smell. We then discovered that our crawlspace was full of mold. I chose Crawlspace Doctors to fix the problems after I met Matt Dieters. Our builder left building scraps under the vapor barrier plastic which was also molded, the plastic had big gaps in it, the sump pump was not installed correctly and there was no drainage system. Matt, removed everything, put in the drainage system, reinstalled a new sump pump the correct way and fully encapsulated the crawlspace. Then to my surprise about every 6 to 9 months I would see a card taped to my door that was from Matt saying he stopped by to check on things. This problem made our daughter so very sick but at the time, we didn't know that was the cause. She developed asthma and allergies from this. After Matt completed the job, our daughter was so much better. She still has asthma and allergies but they are under control when there is not a problem in our home. This past June we had a flood from our washer (about 70 gallons or more) water also went into the floor vents into the crawlspace and we hired a contractor to fix our entire main level of our home and whatever necessary from the flood. I felt something still wasn't right so I decided to call Matt and ask if he could come over to look at our crawlspace. He came right away, looked into the crawlspace, and came out with a plan! I have been trying to solve this problem for several months, not knowing what to do first, who to trust, and just about to lose my mind. Matt spent a lot of time with me, made a few phone calls and 4 days after following his plan, which I followed, we can breath again!! We were all suffering from headaches, sinus issues and our daughter was real sick again. The problem was in my furnace and ductwork and Matt knew exactly what to do to make it better. After several years of having my crawlspace work done by Matt, not only did he show up right away to help but he hung in there with me and made sure everything was going to be alright! My only regret is that I didn't call him several months ago. Matt is very good at what he does because he has so much knowledge of what surrounds the main issue.

The estimate was done on a Saturday by Shannon, who checked out the entire crawl space and then explained what was happening. He used digital pictures to show exactly what he saw, and I especially liked this feature. He provided two estimates: one for installation of a sump pump in addition to a french drain around the perimeter of the entire crawlspace, and then the other estimate was for sump pump installation with a french drain just around the 400 sq. ft. area where water was observed. He indicated that he saw no evidence of water seepage in the main part of the home in his inspection (again, with pictures to back it up), so I opted to have the work done just on the 400 sq. ft. area, which sits lower than the rest of the house. There was no pressure to have the work done around the entire crawlspace. Additionally, I was concerned about whether digging in the yard to install the drain pipe would damage the septic finger system. He indicated that in this case, the distance was short enough that they would dig by hand, and that they could take care to avoid damage to the finger system. The job was scheduled by Matt (the owner) for the following Thursday, and he indicated that Shannon and one or two other guys would be doing the work. When Thursday morning arrived, it had been raining, and water was where they needed to work. I assumed that they would postpone, and I sure didn't expect them to work in that mess, but they set up a pump to flush out the area, and by early afternoon the french drain and exterior drain pipe were installed (in digging the trench for the pipe, they never came in contact with the septic finger system). In addition, they replaced the old vapor barrier on the crawlspace floor with a new piece of plastic. The water level was still to high to dig out the pit for the sump pump, so Shannon said he'd be back the next day to finish that part of the job. The next day when he returned, the water still had not gone down enough to dig as deep as he needed to, so he prepared the electrical connection, and left the temporary pump in place to continue to lower the water level. On the following Monday, Shannon and Matt were able to complete the work, and everything is in good shape. There's been some rain since the job was finised, and the only water I've seen is what is leaving the drain pipe. From start to finish, these guys were professional, courteous, and did not fail to address any question I had. They went well beyond my expectations by carrying forward with the work in the rain, as well as by making the two return trips to complete the job. If I have any other issues with the crawlspace in this home, or with the crawlspace/basement of a future home, I'll hire Crawlspace Doctor again without hesitation.
Description of Work: A french drain and sump pump were installed under a 400 sq. ft. portion of the home where water was present. An exterior drain pipe was also installed across an area where a septic finger system is present.

They recommend a dehumidifier to fix the issue. If you have a small leak, they are on the expensive side of things. They are for more heavy duty problems. They are very high end. They did not end up doing any work for me. They were professional and knowledgeable.

CrawlSpaceDoctor came quickly to see if my sump pump was working since my husband and I hadn't heard it after several days of constant rain. The sump pump is old and were were concerned it might need replacing. CrawlSpaceDoctor tested it and told me it was working fine. I was thankful for their honesty, polite manner and the additional suggestions they gave me for maintaining the health of the crawl space (including closing my vents in the winter).

I had given this company a negative rating because I never got an estimate/proposal from them. Matt called me when he learned of my negative review. He explained that the tech who came to my house had had a family emergency and simply forgot to do the estimate. His apology was sincere and he hoped that I would accept it; I did. I truly appreciated his call.

They came out and inspected the crawl space to provide an estimate for repairs to an area of the foundation wall that has been structurally compromised. He was quick in getting over to the location and efficient and detailed in his over the phone estimate. He observed some issues that were missed on my home inspection report. Even though he knew I didn't own the home and could possibly not hire him because of that, he was still very willing to take time out of his day to go and look anyway. Very friendly, responsive, easy to talk to. We are not sure if we are buying the house but if we do or ever need foundation/crawlspace services. I would not hesitate to call the Doctor again! :)
