What we do
Crawlspace services
From a vapor barrier to full encapsulation, we recommend what fits your house and put one price in writing. What drives the cost.
Crawlspace Encapsulation
A liner across the ground and up the piers, vents closed, seams sealed, and a crawlspace dehumidifier. The whole job; your quote names the liner and the unit.
What’s included →Vapor Barrier Installation
A ground liner that stops moisture rising from bare soil. The cheaper first move when the ground is the source. We tell you at the evaluation whether a barrier alone fits your house.
What’s included →Crawlspace Cleanout
Old insulation, debris, droppings and nests, bagged and hauled out, with every entry point photographed. Quoted after we have seen the access and the volume.
What’s included →Crawlspace Insulation
Closed-cell foam or mineral wool at the rim joist, after the moisture is controlled. We remove wet fiberglass; we do not install it.
What’s included →Crawlspace Dehumidifier
A crawlspace-rated unit sized to the space, set on the liner and drained properly. The unit and the install scope are named in your quote.
What’s included →Your free evaluation

For Pinellas County’s raised homes
Shane GoforthOwner. Started under the houses himself. - One name on your job, from the evaluation to the finished photos.
- A report, not a pitch. Photos and readings, yours to keep.
- We tell you when you don’t need us. Slab or dry crawlspace: no invoice.
- How much does crawlspace work cost?
- It depends on size, access, condition and equipment, so we quote after the free evaluation, in writing, with the materials and equipment named. What drives the cost walks through the market ranges.
- What if I am not sure I have a crawlspace?
- Most of Pinellas County is slab. Older raised homes usually have small louvered vents in the foundation and a real step up to the front door. Our five-minute walkaround settles it without anyone visiting, and if you are on a slab we say so.
- Can I send a photo first?
- Yes. Text a photo to (727) 379-1776 to show us what you are noticing. Photos help with intake; the quote only comes after an in-person evaluation.
- What if you find a different kind of problem?
- We do crawlspace cleaning, vapor barriers, insulation and moisture control. If the evaluation turns up a structural, foundation or mold problem, you get the photographs and a referral to an appropriately licensed contractor. We do not do that work.
