A plain description of what was found, which items are causing which symptoms, what we recommend addressing first, and written pricing based on the measured size, height and access of your crawl space. If the crawl space is in good shape, we will say so.

Crawl space condition affects a lot of Virginia transactions. For buyers, moisture, damaged framing or a failing liner can represent real cost after closing, and it helps to know the scope before the inspection contingency runs out. For sellers, knowing the condition ahead of time avoids a late renegotiation driven by an unknown number.

A crawl space inspection like this is focused on moisture, water management and visible framing condition. It does not replace a licensed home inspection, a wood-destroying insect report, or an engineering assessment, and it should be used alongside those rather than instead of them.

Tell us what you are seeing in the short form. We will arrange a time to access the crawl space, and there is no charge or obligation for the visit.
