Most Northwest homes sit on a vented crawl space over bare, damp ground. It is dark, it is cold, and it is the single most common source of persistent pest pressure we deal with in this region.
The problem compounds. Rodents get in, nest in the floor insulation, and leave scent behind. That odour is a signal to the next animal that the space is suitable. So you trap, and it works, and eight months later you are trapping again — because the invitation is still hanging in the insulation.
Cleaning the space out breaks that cycle. It also fixes the things you were probably blaming on the furnace: cold floors, a musty smell rising through the vents, and a heating bill that never quite made sense.
You get pictures of the actual conditions under your house. Nobody should be asked to approve work in a space they have never seen.
Contaminated insulation, debris, old barrier and waste removed and disposed of properly.
Treatment of the exposed surfaces to knock down the odour and pheromone trails that keep drawing animals back.
Fresh barrier laid and secured across the soil, sealed at the perimeter and around piers.
New insulation installed between the floor joists at the specified R-value, properly supported so it stays up.
Foundation vents screened, access hatches sealed, and any rodent entry points closed with materials they cannot chew through.
Photographs of the actual conditions under your house, so you are deciding based on what is there rather than a description.
Contaminated insulation, debris and waste removed and disposed of properly.
Treatment of the exposed surfaces to reduce the pheromone trails that make the space attractive to the next rodent.
New vapour barrier, screened vents, sealed access points and fresh insulation at the specified R-value.
If insulation is contaminated, odour keeps drawing new rodents in. In those cases trapping alone becomes a recurring cost. We will show you photos and let you decide.
Restoring compressed or missing floor insulation improves comfort and efficiency. We will not quote you a specific dollar saving, because it depends on your home.
Most residential crawl spaces are a one- to two-day job depending on square footage, access and how much material has to come out. We will give you the expected duration in writing with the quote.
For the initial inspection it helps, so we can walk you through the photographs. For the work itself we only need access to the crawl-space hatch and an exterior power point.
Cleanout, sanitation, vapour barrier and insulation — the work that turns a recurring rodent problem into a finished one.
