Realtors – Don’t Ruin Your Reputation
When we get calls from someone buying or selling a home, more often than not, they want it to be a quick process where any requirements from the home inspector are fixed cheaply and quickly, with little regard for quality.

Here at Crawl Space Ninja, we always say, “We do it right, or we don’t do it at all.” Most quick crawl space fixes done by cheaper companies are not done properly or to building code standards and can cause more problems in the future.
Realtors – is recommending a quick, cheap company worth your reputation to future real estate clients?
Take one of our recent crawl space assessments for example: We were called out to a home that was purchased about a year earlier. The seller’s realtor had recommended a company to do some work in the crawl space. Then, a year and $3000 later, things started to smell a little funky. The company that did the work is now out of business and offering no help. What went wrong?

During our inspection of the crawl space, we noticed several problems. The previous company only sealed the vents and installed vapor barrier. The relative humidity and wood moisture content were extremely high due to no dehumidifier or AVS being installed. There was no insulation reinstalled, which meant the crawl space was not to code. On top of all this, the reinforced vapor barrier that was used had begun to give off a cat urine odor that could be smelled throughout the crawl space and even inside the house.
The homeowner is now having to pay for crawl space repairs a second time.
We understand that in real estate, things need to move quickly. But we don’t believe in sacrificing our quality work, and neither should you.
