You’ve heard the expression, “Out of sight; out of mind.” Typically, that’s not great advice and can be very damaging to both your home and your health when referring to your home’s crawlspace. Since this is not likely a spot where you care to spend much time, you need to contact the professionals at Crawlspace Medic.
Locally, Greg Bajan, owner of Crawlspace Medic of Richmond, offers expert-level inspections and services to provide homeowners with customized solutions to whatever unseen problems may exist under their homes. If there’s structural or water damage or, perhaps, termite infestation, it’s not only your home’s structural integrity that may be at stake, but most importantly, your family’s well-being depends upon addressing the problem as efficiently and as quickly as possible.
Problem solving is Bajan’s specialty. His background in web design and development first fostered his appreciation for the application of modern technology in finding solutions for clients. However, about nine years ago, he discovered Crawlspace Medic and recognized the benefits of making full use of technology in the home services industry.
“It was very obvious that home services brands hadn’t adapted to technology as quickly as the market needed it to,” says Bajan. “One of the main reasons for coming into this industry was to assist in the transformation of the brand. With the right technology, we can provide better service to our customers and our technicians.”
Bajan elaborates, “My passion for user experience from web design crossed over into this industry, and my drive for learning how things work has kept me focused on fixing crawl spaces and basements in the best way possible.”
With summer winding down, now is the time to have a Crawlspace Medic professional take a look. Bajan advises, “The condition of the crawl space during the summertime and wetter months is the best time to observe if seasonal or long-term issues have arisen. Water and moisture can wreak havoc on the insulation and floor system of a home. Without an inspection, the damage could get worse until it’s too late.”
There are some specific things to be on the lookout for. “If you see water on the vapor barrier (plastic on the ground in the crawl space), cold, or damp floors in the home, humps or bumps in the floor system, a musty or mildew smell in the home….these are all reasons to call us, he says.
Bajan cautions “Any work in the crawl space should be performed by a Virginia Contractor, As a licensed and insured Class A contractor, we ensure any needed work is done correctly. We offer a standard one-year warranty on workmanship and materials, and will pass along any manufacturer warranties offered in any equipment that is installed, including dehumidifiers and sump pumps.”
You may not need a doctor in the house, but the health of your home and your family can be protected by having Crawlspace Medic under your house.
