Builder debris from the original construction plus thirty years of fallen batts. Both come out.
In Centerville the cleanouts are usually two layers. Underneath is whatever the builder left when the house went up in the eighties or nineties. On top of that is fiberglass insulation that has absorbed moisture over the years and let go from the joists.
Both are moisture-holding, both feed mold, and both are sitting on bare ground in a shallow crawl space. Because these houses are relatively young the framing is usually still sound, so a cleanout here is often the whole job on its own.
We clear it by hand and haul everything away, treat any mold on the framing and the block, and grade the ground flat. From there the space is ready for a barrier, and most homeowners here do the two together because the crew is already on site.
Here is what our crawl space cleaning work includes on a Centerville home, in town or out toward the Houston County line.

Trench Guys came to my home and corrected a sagging kitchen floor. They did a great job and guarantee their work for 10 years! I absolutely will be calling them anytime I need help.
I don't usually write reviews but John and his crew are absolutely awesome. They did my crawl space encapsulation. I got other quotes - don't waste your time with the other guys. Outstanding service at an incredible price!
