How to Prepare for a Crawl Space Visit

Key takeaways

  • Clear the entrance and the path to it
  • Note what you have seen and smelled
  • Plan for pets and parking
  • Know where the water shutoff and breaker panel are

A little preparation helps the crew do more in less time.

Before the visit

  • Clear stored items from the entrance, inside and out
  • Unlock gates and note the access point, inside or outside
  • Write down what you noticed: smells, cold floors, noises, past leaks
  • Know where the main water shutoff and breaker panel are

Pets and people

Plan for pets and children while the crew is working. Crawl space work can be noisy and uses equipment that should be kept out of reach.
