Before and after
What Changes Under a Lynnwood House
Two real crawl spaces, not the same house: one still on bare dirt, one just sealed with new barrier. Most of what we find off Highway 99 looks like the first, and the second is where the job ends.

Rusted or pushed-in screens, gaps at the rim joist
Vents screened, openings sealed with hardware cloth and metal
What you get
A smell you cannot place and rodents you can hear
A clean space, and photos of the finished work
Along Highway 99
The Neighborhoods Where We Do the Most Crawl Space Cleaning in Lynnwood
Alderwood Manor, Cedar Valley and the streets on either side of Highway 99 are full of homes that sit on crawl spaces with decades of wear. Damper pockets near Scriber Creek and Perrinville add moisture. If the rodents have been underneath, the cleanout and the sealing go together.

What Customers Say About Our Crawl Space & Vapor Barrier
"We appreciate what you did in our crawl space. My husband is in commercial construction and was impressed with how well and how quick your team did the job under our house! Thank you."
"We were in need of immediate local service, since I woke up hearing scratching in my wall. I knew it wasn't good. I am super thankful for the care and concern that was given to me by the owner (who's amazing by the way), very knowledgeable, honest and very fair price. So much so that I dropped Orkin and signed up with these guys due to the low price I got quoted. When the tech showed up, he put me at ease, very knowledgeable young man, and answered all my questions and concerns. By that same night one of the traps that was laid down had caught the little bugger in my wall. I'm thankful for the quick reply and how quickly someone came out to help us. They even came back to retrieve the critter. I appreciate honesty, it's hard to come by these days. So thank you!"
"Reliable and effective. Very affordable pricing. Got rid of the rats and wasps!"
Questions, answered
Lynnwood Crawl Space Questions
-
Why Do So Many Lynnwood Homes Off Highway 99 Need Crawl Space Work?
- Many of the ramblers and split-levels in Alderwood Manor, Cedar Valley and along the Highway 99 corridor sit on crawl spaces that have had decades of wear, and rodents often move in underneath. Torn barrier and soiled insulation are what we find most there.
-
Can You Just Lay New Plastic Over the Old?
- Not if rodents have been living on it. Fresh plastic over droppings and soiled insulation buries the smell instead of removing it, and if the openings stay open, the rats tear up the new barrier too. Cleanout, sealing and new barrier belong in the same job.
-
Do You Handle the Rodents Too?
- Yes. Sealing the crawl space is part of the job, and if rodents are still in the walls or attic we handle that as well. Our Lynnwood rodent control page explains how.
-
How Much Does Crawl Space Cleaning Cost in Lynnwood?
- It is priced on the square footage and how much cleanup, sealing and insulation the space needs, so we quote after we have been under the house. You get the number in writing before work starts.
-
How Long Will a New Vapor Barrier Last?
- Most homes here get 10 to 15 years out of one, longer when the crawl space stays sealed and nobody tears it up working on pipes or ducts.
