Four reasons Thompsontown property owners trust us with this specific job.
Our Thompsontown techs understand the specific moisture patterns common in older pier-and-beam and pre-1980s construction. We won't apply a modern slab-home fix to a Thompsontown, PA property that needs a different approach. We photograph crawl space conditions before and after for your Thompsontown records.
Tight, low-clearance conditions call for specific training and compact gear, which our Thompsontown techs carry standard. No job gets turned away just because the clearance is tight. Our equipment is rated for the tight clearance older construction demands.
A properly sealed vapor barrier addresses what's usually the real Thompsontown, PA source. Skipping this step is why so many prior treatments don't hold. We photograph crawl space conditions before and after for your Thompsontown records.
