I started in this business at 24, working as a commission-based salesman for the big corporate companies. Now, at 36, I've spent a third of my life dealing with crawl spaces. Let me tell you something that might surprise you about all those "experts" you see advertised on billboards around Nashville.

I see it all the time when I inspect crawl spaces around Nashville - beautiful encapsulation jobs ruined by mice. These aren't just any mice either. We're talking about determined little creatures that can squeeze through the tiniest gaps and cause thousands in damage once they get in.

Yesterday really showed why quick response matters in this business. I got two urgent calls - one from Bellevue, another from Mount Juliet. Both homeowners had already called other companies and gotten the same answer: "We can't get out there for 2-3 weeks."

When we seal up your crawl space, we're creating a controlled environment under your home. That's great for stopping moisture problems, but there's something else we need to think about: radon gas. As a crawl space expert in Middle Tennessee, I've added radon mitigation to our services because these two things go hand in hand.

I just inspected a two-year-old home in Lebanon that really got me fired up. The house is beautiful, the crawl space looks professionally done at first glance - spray foam, poly barrier, the works. But there's already fungus growing everywhere. Why? Because the builder skipped one critical thing: dehumidifiers.

When you've got water in your crawl space or a serious problem that needs immediate attention, the last thing you want is to deal with a call center. Hi, I'm Josh, owner of Crawl Logic, and I handle emergency crawl space calls personally - even on Sundays. Just this weekend, I was out inspecting a crawl space within an hour of getting the call.

I got an emergency call the other day from a homeowner dealing with humidity problems in their crawl space. The company that installed their system couldn't come out for two weeks. Two weeks! I was there within two hours, and what I found is something I see way too often.

Is your crawl space still feeling damp even though you have a dehumidifier? You're not alone. I just inspected a crawl space where the homeowner was having this exact problem. Their dehumidifier was running, but it wasn't doing much good - and the reason was pretty simple: it was stuck in the wrong spot.
