Realtors – Be Careful Who You Refer!

Has This Ever Happened to You?

Recently we were called out to look at a crawl space that was encapsulated by a competitor less than a year ago. This crawl space was under contract to be sold last year and the buyer’s realtor recommended that this company (which will go nameless) do the job. Well, they did not do a very good job and now the realtor feels horrible, but the buyers who now own the home are paying for it. Plus, the crawl space repair company the realtor recommended is now out of business, so there is no recourse to fixing the crawl space. Has this ever happened to you?

We Fix Crawl Space Correctly or Not at All

I am sure you have probably referred someone that did not quite do the job you were expecting them to do for your friend, relative or client. Hey, we’ve all been there, but to refer a company simply because they are cheaper to help the sale to go through is not a good way to choose who you refer to take care of your client’s crawl space. Therefore, we have the “We do it right, or we don’t do it all” philosophy.

It Only Cost $3,000

Crawl space encapsulation cost can vary greatly depending on the size of the crawl space and the options you choose to have done. Some people can get things done for $3,000, while others may take $20,000. Also, according to HomeAdvisor.com, the national average of crawl space encapsulation ranges from $5,000 to $15,000, and that does not include mold remediation.

Crawl Space Vapor Barrier

Installing vapor barrier is one of the least expensive options for crawl space encapsulation, but if you need a sump pump and trench along with mold removal and insulation, well, I’m sure you get the point. The only problem with a vapor barrier only approach is that the plastic installed in a crawl space is only one part of the crawl space encapsulation process. Dehumidification along with insulation is certainly needed although often not recommended by crawl space repair contractors.

Cat Urine Vapor Barrier

Not only did this homeowner waste $3,000 on horrible work that did not fix anything, they also installed a crawl space vapor barrier that is now currently making their home smell like cat urine. Imagine spending $3,000 on something only to have to have it removed so that you could get it done right.
