Look what we found during this Free Crawlspace Inspection
This home owner was across the street and I was dropping off a door flyer and they came to the door. As they said they were just in there crawlspace a month ago and everything was fine. So I said if I don’t find mold and take a picture of it I’ll give you a hundred dollar bill and can hold onto it as I quickly inspect the crawlspace. Well they …said Yes.
So as I opened there crawlspace door I saw 6 inches of standing water and the water covered 80% of the crawlspace, or at least what I can see from the door. To many wires were under water so it not safe to touch the water…as you can imagine. ALOT of insulation insulation hanging down and the 1 year old water heater was pouring a cup of coffee of hot water into the crawlspace every 10 seconds.
So, I go the $100 bill back : ). Turned off the water to the I then dug a 12 inch hole in the dirt infront of the crawl door and placed a 5 gallon bucket in the hole through the water. The 5 gallon bucket has 100+ holes in it to let in water and keep out rocks clogging up the sump pump. There was soooo much water that the 1/3 sump pump pumping 7 gallons per minute
