Crawlspace Doctor

Basement Waterproofing, Foundation Repair, Wells and Pumps,

About us

Crawlspace Doctor was established in Bloomington, Indiana in 2002. Crawlspace Doctor was one of the first companies in the country to exclusively implement the practice of conditioned/ un-vented crawlspaces. We were perfecting our methods when almost everyone else still believed in vented crawlspaces. Over time conditioned crawlspaces became the preferred method for constructing crawlspaces under homes. The process of conditioning a crawlspace is so successful it created an entire new industry. As a leader in the industry we pride ourselves in providing a large variety of products to fit our clients individual needs. We will NEVER be a company that supplies only one solution with one product for every need. We constantly work with manufactures and suppliers to provide the best and most cost effective products available.

Matt and his team did a great job and exceeded my expectations by reconnecting some loose duct work and installing a new access door and well. I would recommend their services to a friend or family member.

Perfectly. Matt, the owner, was courteous, prompt, and knowledgeable. He did exactly what he said he would do in a timely fashion. Even added some extras at his expense. Since then, I have even called him for some advice, which he freely gave at no cost. Try to find another contractor who would do that! I would not hesitate to hire Crawlspace Doctor again. No B.S. just great work at a fair price.
Description of Work: Older Broadripple home had a wet basement. Window were installed; regrading around the foundation; drainage pipes were installed. Vapor shield was installed on three walls in the basement.

Crawl Space Doctors are FANTASTIC!!! We did a thorough investigation and vetting of potential vendors and selected Crawl Space Doctors/Matt Deiters. I live in Detroit. My 84 year old mother lives in Indianapolis. She had major termite damage in her crawl space. When Matt came and gave his estimate, he explained that he used to work for a major termite company so he thoroughly understood our problem and the remedy the termite company was employing. Crawl Space Doctors' quote was very reasonable and was the best for the scope of work performed. One major vendor’s quote was almost TWICE as high. Matt is a down to earth, principled man and it showed. My mother really liked him. Matt’s team exceeded our expectation. They showed up on time, were professional, communicated frequently, and did a great job. Once again, mom was pleased. Crawl Space Doctors have my highest recommendation. Mom had a general contractor from her church check on the progress of their work. He was so impressed that HE recommended them to someone else!

We called, he came on the day he said he would, looked at the job and gave an estimate and a date when he could do it. He came on the day he said he would, very pleasant and respectful. He gave us some very helpful information, and he did a great job! Thanks Matt! Little jobs lead to big jobs down the road.

went smoothly; matt communicated very well all aspects of the project. crawlspace is staying dry during current we heavy rains and local flood warnings.
Description of Work: water was getting in the crawlspace due to downspouts not draining far enough away from base of home; matt came up with a plan to redirect the water and installed three underground downspouts; added dirt to low lying areas around the house to ensure water flowed away from the residence.

Called the Dr for a second opinion on high humidity. Gave me some estimates and opinions on possible cause. Have not taken any action to date as I wanted to see if humidity stayed high when the rain stopped. We very professional, congenial, and did not charge for the visit. Very thankful for his input.

I purposely have waited to write this review so I could assess the job that was done and so far, I am completely satisfied with the work. And we have had enough rain to make an educated decision. The crew came on time each day and notified me that they were there to begin work. Also told me what they were hoping to accomplish that day. Very hard workers and so professional and nice. I enjoyed them a lot. They had to come into the house several times to measure the floors when doing the floor joists, and always took off their boots, which was a real pain for them, and wiped up any dirt or dust. They cleaned up each nite when finished and I had no mess \when job was completed. The owner stopped by daily, and sometime brought parts/lumber, etc, they needed. Matt (owner) is laid back and funny, but he demands good work and the guys seem to like and respect him. I choose this company because the work was in line with the line items suggested on other estimates I had received, and in the middle price range. I didn't want the cheapest, (I believe you get what you pay for), but also couldn't afford the most expensive, either. I am very satisfied with the work performed for the price I paid. I would recommend Dr. Crawlspace for your crawlspace problems.
Description of Work: Cleaned out crawlspace, dug a French drain around perimeter of crawl, sprayed mold cleaner and then painted, fixed several floor joists, installed additional sill plate under front of house, did encapsulation in plastic and added foam insulation around outside walls of crawl.

Working with Matt and his team was EXCELLENT! We recently purchased a new home that had a damp crawl space with mold. We heard about Matt through our realtor as well as AdvantaClean (the company that provided mold remediation - They are also OUTSTANDING!). From the beginning, it was easy to work with Matt. He has an easy going personality that takes the stress out of having a crawlspace that is need of repair. He also was able to educate my husband and I on the situation in our crawl space and then worked to help us get it fixed. Matt was very easy to get a hold of and communicated with us often to help arrange a time to get the work completed (we had many things happening all at once with this repair). In the end, his team elected to work a Saturday for us so the work would be completed by our move date. My husband and I were impressed by the level of communication and followup we had with Matt. It was a pleasure working with Matt and his team. They provided exceptional customer service and quality work for a very reasonable price. If you need work to be done in your crawlspace, I highly encourage you to contact Matt and his team at Crawlspace Doctor!

Matt and his crew got 'er done. We were very happy with the quality, timeliness, and cost of the job. His quote beat his nearest competitor by $2300 for the same requirements. He beat a third competitor by 10,000 dollars. Granted the highest competitor wanted to do a lot more work. We are in a sell situation on the property so it was important to control costs while addressing the sagging floor issue we had in the entry way caused by water damage. Thank You Crawlspace Doctor and Matt! Job well done!

I called Matt to have him give me an estimate on fixing my sinking slab under my dettached garage. He gave me some advice and recommended getting rid of the cause before worrying about fixing the problem. I need to do some trenching to get water away from the slab and that will stop the problem. Once that is done, his thought was "why bother." It will be expensive to fix and once the water is dealt with, it wont sink anymore. It is not a cause for structural concern, so leave it alone, just stop the water form getting under the garage. Matt is a great, honest guy and if I need any services that he can offer in the future, I will call him without hesitation.

Matt showed up on time, provided credible answers to all my questions, and provided a proposal with cost estimate for a solution to my foundation problem. There was no hard sell and the proposed solution appeared to be sound. Although the cost of the proposed solution was high, the solution approach appeared to be the best permanent solution to my problem compared to the others that I reviewed. This was one of four proposals that I obtained in order to compare and evaluate. For reasons not related to any of the companies that submitted proposals, I elected not to go ahead with the repair.

A sagging ranch, this young man made such an impression from the bid to the full completion. In 2015, it's hard to find professional, personable and HONEST. This company, and Matt Deiters personally, was both. I have no hesitation to say get a quote. Anything he missed, but needed, was added with no extra charge. There was no up-selling, and respect was apparent and consistent. A big job, the shoring up of a family home was easy when entrusted to this company and gentleman.
Description of Work: Crawlspace repair on. 1962 brick home. Rotted wood, fixing corners so they are flush again with a honest quote and repair. Three quotes, this was in the range...not the cheapest, but the most comprehensive quote and clearest communication in proposing the work.

Matt and crew were very professional and personable. The job came in at budget and as described. His proposal was much more geared to our needs and more than half the price of competitor proposals. We have already recommended Matt and Crawlspace Doctor to family and neighbors. Thanks, Matt and crew. And thanks, Angie's List for connecting us with him.

Matt is the man!! He kept trying till the leak was fixed. He didn't give up as two other providers did. They wanted to work around the actual problem but he kept at it, not even charging us at times, till he found it and fixed it completely. He demonstrated extreme knowledge and experience. Others came, guessed, did something? charged a thousand dollars or more and proposed an elaborate work around the problem system as a back up and the problem remained, they didn't care. Matt was there when he said he would be, was present and on the job with his helper, and worked hard even in bad weather. We couldn't be happier, and would highly recommend him to anyone! He is genuine and honest, a rare find these days.

Our master bedroom and bath are over a crawlspace (rest of house is over a basement) and we noticed that the floors and rooms seemed colder than they used to; we could feel cold air coming out of the crawlspace opening in our HVAC room in the basement. Got two bids. While the old insulation was obviously falling off the crawlspace walls, Matt found two holes (where the crawlspace wall had shifted away from the basement foundation wall) and noted that one of the concrete footers (pylon) had begun to erode. He proposed the repairs and encapsulating the crawlspace; he also went outside and found that two of the rain gutter drains were probably causing some water leakage into the crawlspace. He and his team completed the work in one day; were most respectful of our home (e.g., protected the flooring, careful not to touch or damage anything); and, did a great job. Matt was friendly and professional and didn't try to oversell us on things we just didn't need. The other company that we obtained a bid from were twice as much for encapsulation, didn't find the holes, didn't check out the exterior drains, proposed a secondary sup-pump and humidifier, both of which we don't need. Our master bedroom and bath are much warmer now.
Description of Work: Removed old crawlspace insulation, vapor barrier, and debris; sealed two holes in the crawlspace wall, repaired a cement footer, and encapsulated the crawlspace; they also re-channeled two exterior rain gutter drains to drain away from the house.
