We can help with crawl space clean up
When you have a crawl space, it’s a convenient place to store things that you want to get out of the way. The problem is, it’s often a little too convenient, and you end up continuously putting things in storage instead of simply getting rid of the things you no longer want. Over time, this makes it harder to access the things you actually need. If your crawl space is looking a bit cluttered and crowded, it’s time for some crawl space junk removal.
How to clean a crawl space under your house
Crawl spaces can be awkward to access, which makes the cleanout process even more of a pain to handle on your own. If you’re wondering why you maintaining a clean crawl space is important, here are just a few reasons:
- A number of pests, such as rodents or other unwanted pests can live inside the space
- Mold, mildew, and fungus can accumulate over time
- Standing water can accumulate
- If your crawl space is very old and hasn’t been cleaned out in a long time, structural collapse might occur as a result of wear and tear
- Damaged wiring
If you are stuck on where to start, and how to get the job done properly - follow the steps below to get going in no time:
- Wear protective gear: before you attempt to go into the crawl space, make sure you wear gloves, goggles or other protective clothing to ensure your safety.
- Assess the situation: before you touch anything, you should assess the current state of your crawlspace. If there are rats living inside or your crawl space is filled with standing water, it may be best to leave the clean up job to a professional. They may even have special tools available such as a crawl space vacuum that need to be used for sufficient cleaning.
- Use proper tools: Some common tools that people need when cleaning out crawl spaces themselves is a good quality wired brush, small paintbrush, and a can of fungicide to treat the wood structure on the crawl space. If you are pulling out insulation, make sure to have a suitable garbage bag ready for disposal.
