In His Words: The Crawl Space Ninja Story From Our Founder
In 2005, my wife and I were expecting our first baby. I was in my mid-thirties and scared out of my mind. Needless to say, times were extremely tough financially. Having the added stress of a newborn was really weighing on me. It was through pure desperation and a lot of prayer that I began the journey which eventually led me to becoming the Crawl Space Ninja.
Straight out of high school I had started several businesses. These included everything from tanning salons, to computers, to rehabbing and flipping houses. I joined the Navy straight out of high school because I couldn’t afford college. Plus, the likelihood of scholarships or grants was not in my future. My parents were hard workers, and seeing their example taught me to work hard, as well. While in the Navy, I knew I wanted to someday own my own business. However, I never had any formal business training. I earned my associate’s degree while serving and graduated on-board the USS John F Kennedy in 1995. I was honorably discharged shortly after that returned to East Tennessee.
After several failed business attempts and my wife being 8-months pregnant, I decided to launch into another business. At this time, our tanning salons were hemorrhaging money Ultimately, this got us several months behind on our house payment. I didn’t know what to do, so I decided to get a job.
On my way to an interview, our car broke down. I was stuck on the side of the road waiting for a tow. An old acquaintance saw me stranded and stopped to see if I needed any help. While we were talking, he told me about a product he found that eliminated pet odors in homes. He was a realtor, and that was a very handy thing to have when trying to sell a house. Since I had missed my interview, I went home and decided to buy one of the air purifiers that eliminate pet odors. After all, I had dogs.
The only problem was my dogs didn’t stink. At least, I didn’t think they did. My air purifier arrived and WOW! My dogs smelled horrible. After the dog odor was eliminated I decided to turn the air purifier off just to see what would happen. Well, as you can imagine, the odor returned. For the first time, I noticed how much my precious puppies stunk.
Since I had a way to eliminate odors, I spoke to as many realtors and homeowners as possible. The odor elimination lead us to getting mold inspector and removal certified. Then, that lead to crawl space waterproofing, then insulation and foundation work. Additionally, we purchased a company’s manufacturing equipment and began manufacturing the World’s Best Furnace Filters. Home Filtration located in Powell, TN created a furnace filter that is second to none in capturing dust and allergens. In 2014, we purchased that business and now manufacture the AirSafe Furnace Air Filter.
Since then, we created our YouTube channel to educate homeowners about their crawl spaces and basements. We expanded our service area to cover Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Georgia and Delaware. In 2018, we began franchising, in 2019 we expanded our services to include basement waterproofing and in 2023 we expanded to include attics. We thank our customers for helping us grow by allowing us to create worry-free crawlspaces, basements and attics in their homes.
With thanks,
Michael Church, CEO Crawl Space Ninja
