An under-floor crawl space is a low space beneath an elevated floor that may contain framing, plumbing, wiring or other building components.

What this means at your property

Moisture in this space can relate to drainage, plumbing or air conditions. Restricted access can limit an inspection, and a photograph from the opening cannot establish the condition of every part of the area.

What should a crawl-space report explain?

Ask which sections were accessible, what moisture or material conditions were observed and which specialist follow-up is needed. Do not enter a wet or restricted crawl space to investigate an unresolved electrical, structural or other hazard.
