Crawl Space Clean-Out in Jacksonville & Northeast Florida

Start from clean.

Most crawlspaces we open have decades of construction debris, fallen insulation, animal remains and organic matter in them. Clearing it out is the first step of every job we do, and sometimes it is the whole job.

How the work goes

Clean out, then seal every way in

Not to scale · every opening mapped first
1Even the smallest opening — an open vent, a gap at a pipe — lets wildlife and pests in to burrow, forage and multiply.
2Nests, droppings, remains and fallen insulation build up, and the smell comes up through your vents.
3Galvanized wire mesh is secured over every vent and opening under the home.
4Gaps around pipes, wiring and the rim are sealed so there is no second way in.
5The access door is fitted and sealed, and everything on the ground is cleaned out and hauled away.

Where you live changes the job

Four kinds of ground, four versions of this job

Northeast Florida has four distinct ground conditions, and each one changes how we size and sequence this work. Your town page has the specifics.

  • Barrier islands and the Intracoastal

    Full encapsulation with a sealed liner and dehumidifier, stainless or coated fasteners, and a sump where the water table reaches the crawl floor in storm season.

  • St. Johns River and tidal creek lowlands

    Drainage first: a perimeter French drain and a sump sized for the volume, then a sealed liner and dehumidifier so the wood can finally dry out.

  • Pine flatwoods and hardpan

    Vapor barrier or full encapsulation with a dehumidifier to break the humidity cycle, plus grading, downspout extensions and a French drain where water perches against the foundation.

  • Karst and clay uplands

    Moisture control with a sealed liner and dehumidifier, drainage where clay holds water against the foundation, and an honest assessment of any pier or block movement before anything is sealed.

Not sure if you need this? That's what the inspection is for.
