I don’t live in what I consider a very large house. It is about 1,800 square feet and a nice size for our family of 4. Plus, it’s a rambler. This makes most things much easier for service workers because there is often less ladder climbing and not multiple stories to deal with. This is a benefit to us because sometimes it makes things less expensive. I figured the same would be true when it came to crawl space cleaning. What I found out, surprised me!
Rebecca received a discounted service from Crawl Pros in exchange for this blog.
There are several main costs associated with crawl space cleaning.
#1 – Crawl Space Size – This is the biggest determining factor when it comes to the cost. Remember how I said I owned a rambler. In this case the rambler has a larger crawl space than a two-story house so that increased our estimate. It makes sense, but didn’t occur to me until we received our estimate!
#2 – Time – If you have really difficult crawl space access or the crawl space has low clearance, you might find that more team members need to be sent out due to the fact it takes longer to work in those spaces.
#3 – The condition of the space – You might find that if you haven’t taken care of your crawl space you may be looking at additional services. Is your crawl space overrun by rodents or full of water? Those things will cost extra to handle!
So the bottom line question is…would I recommend crawl space cleaning? If I am going to shell out the money is it worth it? My answer is 100% yes and here are the two reasons why.
- Our heating costs went way down. We had both our attic and crawl space insulated last year and it has made a world of difference. Over time it will pay for itself.
- Peace of mind. My husband has to go into our crawl space and attic on occasion for wiring projects and in the past it was full of rodent droppings. I am so grateful it is now cleaned out and a much healthier environment for him to be in!
