Most homeowners have never been in their crawl space. That's not a criticism — it's just the truth. It's dark down there. It smells strange. There's no reason to go unless something's wrong.
Crawl space with white plastic vapor barrier and text: “What nobody tells you before you hire a crawl space company”

What Nobody Tells You Before You Hire a Crawl Space Company She did everything right. That's what makes this so frustrating. She got three quotes.
