At Precision Crawlspace & Renovations, we're conscious of the fact that the crawlspace is a section of the house that is occasionally overlooked and can cause worry for the owner. Due to this, we have made it our responsibility to provide our clients with the best possible experience, starting with the initial evaluation and continuing through the final cleanup.

"Sawyer(owner) is expert at his profession. He has some of the best technical team in the business. He is fair, honest, thorough and his work is professional, timely, and turn key. We had serious mold, mildew, dampness, bugs, and impact on our floors and support joists. Sawyer and his team dug around my foundation and installed drainage pipes, those lead to collection areas and then to pumps to expel the rain water runoff. Also the entire crawlspace was sealed and a commercial grade dehumidifier installed. Heavy floor barrier as well. He also installed more lighting and moister monitors. That was just our main house. We also have a 2500 foot guest house where the identical service was installed. That was 5 years ago and it all works beautifully- in fact when I show it to neighbors they say “dam I could bring my sleeping bag and camp out down here”. We’ll guess what my daughter got for Christmas- the same service for her home! Sawyer saved my house from more serious damage and improved our health. I think Crawlspace’s should be outlawed unless Ed built with these features. Whatever you spend you will get it back plus when you sell and know you are living well in the meantime- don’t waste time with rookies and fast Eddie - do it right and sleep better!"

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Even if they look fine, carpets should be replaced after smoke damage since they can absorb smoke, soot, and water all the way into the carpet padding. Fully removing smoke, fire, and water damage from carpeting can be a complicated and time-consuming process, so replacing the carpet is a safer bet.

Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few things you should throw away after a fire, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don’t look like they’re damaged.

DIY is not recommended due to the complexity and potential structural issues. Hire professionals for thorough and safe repairs.

To get rid of the smoke smell in a microwave, scrape off any burnt food residue and throw it away. Next, warm a cup of water in a microwave-safe container for three minutes. Then, dip a microfiber cloth into a mixture of water and a couple of drops of dish soap and wipe down the inside of the microwave. Dry the inside of the microwave with a fresh cloth and let everything air out for three hours.

Call 911 immediately. If you have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket near the laundry room, you can attempt to extinguish the fire, but don’t open or touch the dryer. If you can’t put the fire out, evacuate yourself, your family, and your pets from the house, closing the laundry room door behind you. Turn off the electricity to your home via the outside fuse box, then wait for the fire department. After a dryer fire, have your home’s electrical system inspected to make sure there isn’t any damage.
