Description of Work: They completely encapsulated the crawlspace, dug a perimeter drain around the inside of the crawlspace, installed a sump pump with exterior drain, created a new crawlspace entry, and hung/secured all pipes and heating ductwork. Additionally, they sealed up existing crawlspace vents that were below surface level. At the end, they provided us with a folder that included before and after photographs on a disc. Having this done has lowered the humidity in the house and the tile floor feels warmer than before!

Description of Work: Replaced around 30 foot of sill plate and repaired over 20 floor joist. They also installed a perimeter drain and sump. It went well the only problem with the project I was they warned me that my kitchen back splash and counter top might be damaged when they jacked up the floor, and unfortunately it damaged both. I do not blame them I was warned that it could happen. The work in the craw space needed to be done.

Description of Work: Put a vapor barrier in our crawl space and put in a sump pump and a drain around the perimeter and sealed the vents and built a crawl space door that was insulated and made the crawl space access bigger, put a fan in the duct work to circulate the air All this to get rid of mold and a damp crawl space. It took them 4 days so thought they did a really good job with all they had to do

We did not do a proposal on this home. Corey Westgate(evaluator) went to this home after receiving this comment only to find out we had never looked at this home. Home owner was supposed to put in a retraction for this posting. Mr. Cunningham told Corey that it was his mistake and would take care of it. Chris Crow President

I am so very pleased! I worked with Dave Tarrence to get this scheduled and set up. Dave did an excellent job of explaining the process and showed pictures of other work that had been done. He went into the crawlspace and took many pictures so that I could see what was currently lurking under my house. It took a couple of months to get scheduled but once the work started it took about a week. Dave's crew of Cody, Mario, and Zack were a real pleasure to deal with. They showed up on time every day and worked very diligently the whole time. Cody was always good to answer my questions and to let me know of the progress, when necessary. Due to the holidays and scheduling issues it was a couple of weeks before Dave and I did a 'crawl through' to review the completed work. The crawlspace is so clean and tidy that it is like an extra room. I admit that I was hesitant about spending that kind of money, but after seeing how wet it was before and after seeing the benefits of the insulation, I am glad that I did it. I have hardwood floors throughout my house and I am convinced that encapsulating the crawlspace will be beneficial for the floors.
Description of Work: I worked with Dave Tarrence. They encapsulated the crawlspace which included removing debris, blocked off the outside vents, insulated the outside walls with R19 (on the inside), installed French drains, moved the sump pump (it was under the master bedroom and I had them move it closer to the crawl space entrance), they added vents for the furnace and a/c to keep the humidity lower, redid the entry and built a new door for the entrance. I am sure that there is more that they did, but these are the highlights.

The job went better than I thought it could. I would highly recommend Corey, Doug and Zach to anyone.
Description of Work: I am reposting this message because I did not see it on Angie's list. I had Crawlspace Doctor come and do extensive work for me in my crawlspace. Chris Crow sent his crew out and they were awesome. Corey , Doug and Zach. I had all my insulation removed, a french drain installed, all debris removed, new flex duct installed, the foundation repaired, new vapor barrier installed and a few other things. Doug and Zach are 2 of the hardest working men I have ever met. They did an excellent job on everything. They explained exactly what they were doing. Corey checked on them on a daily basis. All 3 were very professional, courteous, respectful, knowledgeable and very polite. I would highly recommend these folks to anyone. I have had a lot of contractors in the past and they can't hold a candle to Crawlspace Doctor. I am very satisfied with their work and would not hesitate to have them back if I should ever need anything else. Thanks to an excellent crew. Sharon Hambright from Universal Indiana

Doug and Zach did an excellent job. I would have them here anytime. Their boss, Corey Westgate was awesome to work with. Doug and Zach were very informative as they did the job. All of them were punctual, courteous, knowledgeable, professional, respectful, and personable.
Description of Work: I had my crawlspace completely redone. The guys waterproofed it, installed new duct work, sealed up all cracks and insulated the walls. They removed all old insulation, lots of debris from under the house installed a french drain and made a new entry door to the crawlspace. They also fixed a couple of leaks and kept me abreast of everything they were doing.They installed a sump pump and sump pit, installed register vent and installed water vapor on floor and foundation. They tied up all wires that were on the ground and removed the ones not being used.

They were prompt and professional and did a great job. I can't speak hightly enough about this company. They do the dirty work no one else wants to do with a high degree of professionality and for a reasonable price. They stand by their work and will recheck anytime for no charge. 8 years after the work, they came and checked and gave helpful advice after a very wet season.
Description of Work: The 'original' crawlspace Dr., Tom Saucier insulated and watersproofed my basement and the same plus a sump pump in a rental home.

Description of Work: Tore out old insulation from crawl space. Sealed up outside vents. Covered everything in heavy grade plastic sheeting. Created new door that seals out moisture. I've noticed that my air conditioner runs less often than in years passed, saving on electricity usage. Should also do the same for my furnace this winter.

We were impressed from the first visit with Chris Crow. He was very informative, punctual and pleasant to work with. His crew was also punctual and worked within the given time frame. Chris took before and after photos and encouraged us to take a "tour" of the crawlspace when the work was done. He also made it clear that his company is available if any problems arose after the project was completed. The job was expensive, but worth the money.
Description of Work: The crew removed all existing insulation, "conditioned" crawl, installed vapor barrier, installed new exterior crawl door, blocked vents, insulated exterior walls, installed new drainage.

Chris took the time to prepare the photos to show the crawl space trouble spots and was very honest in all of his recommendations. His team cleaned the workspace when they were done and then Chris took after photos to show what was done. While this is not a visible home improvement, it has improved the humidity in the house and in the windows. This was a worthwhile investment and would recommend this business to anyone needing this work done.
Description of Work: Chris's crew cleaned the crawl space and did a fantastic job in preparing the space. They went above and beyond to ensure that the crawl space was sealed and that the trouble spots were addressed. They were on time and provided excellent customer service.

If I was staying in my home or the party hiring the contractor, I would definitely hire Chris from the Crawlspace Doctor. He was very professional and thorough in his evaluation and spent time explaining his findings and the best way to result the current problems and how to proactively curb future problems. As time was critical due to the sale process, Chris worked us right into his schedule and came out the next day to give us an estimate.
Description of Work: Didn't have work done, needed an estimate of the crawlspace work needed and cost to fix problems. Chris was very thorough and knowledgeable. He spent over an hour under my house, evaluating everything and taking pictures that he then put on a cd for me to view.

Chris was very pleasant to work with throughout the entire process. He even returned a phone call when he was out of state. I feel it was a fair price for a big job. The before and after pictures were nice too. He tries to keep the price reasonable and suggests doing the basics without adding extra expense if he doesn't think it is necessary. His workers were polite and left the job site clean and neat.
Description of Work: Removed old floor insulation, crawlspace fans and vents.They moved sump pump to better location and dug new pit. They bricked up and closed all crawlspace vents. New foam insulation was installed on the block perimeter wall. New vapor barrier was installed on the floor and walls. They replaced damaged shims on support piers and put in three jacks to correct sag in support beams. They put in ductwork from central heating and cooling system to condition the crawlspace. A new door was built for the crawlspace access and new door well.

MR. CHRIS CROW, WHO GAVE ME THE ESTIMATE AND ALSO PERFORMED THE WORK, DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. HE EXPLAINED WHAT HE THOUGHT THE PROBLEM WAS, GAVE ME SEVERAL OPTIONS AND THEN DID THE WORK AND MORE. HE ADDED A SMALL HEATING DUCT, ADDITIONAL INSULATION AND A CUSTOM-MADE INSULATED, WOODEN DOOR. IN ADDITION, HE TIDIED UP THE WIRING, REPLACED SOME POORLY INSTALLED INSULATION AND PUT DOWN A NEW VAPOR BARRIER. HE ALSO SENT ME SOME PICTURES TO SHOW WHAT HAD BEEN DONE. CHRIS REALLY KNOWS CRAWLSPACES AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.
Description of Work: WE HAD A SMALL ADDITION WITH A CRAWLSPACE ADDED TO OUR HOUSE TWO YEARS AGO. THE CRAWLSPACE GETS VERY COLD IN THE WINTER AND I WANTED SOMEONE TO TELL ME WHAT COULD BE DONE TO KEEP IT WARMER.
