Your crawl space affects the air you breathe
Months of Pacific Northwest rain keep the soil under many homes damp from fall through spring. High humidity and musty odors in the crawl space find their way into your living space, and some contractors estimate that up to 40% of the air on the first floor comes up from below.
Attic Crew is ready to turn your old, musty crawl space into a clean and healthy one, so your house can be clean and green.
40%of first-floor air can come from the crawl space.

★★★★★
“We needed some rodent proofing and all of the insulation in our raised house replaced. I was able to get them out for an estimate within days and schedule the work within a couple of weeks. The work was done in about 7 hours and looks fantastic. Everybody was very friendly and professional.”
★★★★★
“Joey and his crew arrived on time. They were very professional and considerate to our needs. We needed our old insulation swapped out and have our attic and crawl space rodent proofed. They did an amazing job at doing so. He was considerate enough to take pictures of all work completed and presented me everything.”
★★★★★
“After 19 years, my crawl space was a disgusting mess due to being inhabited by rodents. Jay came to my home to make an inspection and recommendations. He showed me photos of the problem and explained exactly what was needed to be done. Two weeks later as planned, Wais came out with the crew right on time. When the job was completed, I was again shown with photos exactly what was done and was beyond satisfied with…”
Common questions
Crawl Space Cleaning FAQ
What is a crawl space vapor barrier?
A heavy plastic sheet laid over the soil, and often up the walls and around piers, that keeps ground moisture out of the crawl space. In our wet climate it's one of the most effective ways to reduce humidity and musty odors.
Can you remove a dead animal from my crawl space?
Yes. We remove the animal and any contaminated material, sanitize the area and seal the entry point so it doesn't happen again.
Do you install sump pumps?
Yes. Where standing water is a problem we can add drainage and a sump pump before sealing the crawl space.
How do I know if my crawl space needs cleaning?
Musty smells in the house, signs of rodents, sagging or fallen insulation, standing water or a torn vapor barrier are all good reasons to have it inspected. The inspection is free.
