Crawl Space Inspection Checklist

A printable checklist for going under your own house before you call anyone — and for holding a contractor quote to something specific when you do. Written for Cape Fear conditions rather than generic advice.

What is in it

• The 12 things to look at under the house, in the order to look at them
• How to tell whether framing is soft rather than just discoloured
• Where the high-water mark hides, and why it matters more than what you see today
• The five questions that separate a real quote from a cheap one
• What a liner specification should say — and what 6 mil actually means
• Flood-zone questions specific to New Hanover and Brunswick counties
• A page to record humidity readings over time

It is genuinely useful whether or not you ever call us. That is rather the point — a homeowner who knows what to look for gets better quotes from everybody.
