Back in my twenties, I worked for some of the biggest crawl space companies in Nashville. You know the ones - billboards everywhere, commercials at every gas station. Their message was simple: sell, sell, sell. No matter what it takes. Even if you have to lie to make the sale.

You've seen their billboards all over Nashville. Their commercials play at every gas station. But what happens after these big corporate crawl space companies finish their work? Well, I just got a call to check one of their jobs, and what I found might surprise you.

Let me tell you something about crawl space inspections - they're only as good as what you can show the homeowner. I've been doing this for 12 years, and I've learned that showing is always better than telling. That's why I don't just walk through your crawl space with a flashlight and my phone - I bring serious documentation equipment to every inspection.

Yesterday, I told you about a situation with our Chattanooga job that needed fixing. Well, today I want to show you exactly what "making it right" looks like - and why it sometimes means tearing out thousands of dollars of work that looks perfect on the surface.

Let me be straight with you - if any contractor tells you they've never made a mistake, they're not being honest. In six years of running Crawl Logic, we've built a near-perfect record of quality work. But recently, we hit a bump in the road. Instead of hiding from it, I want to tell you exactly what happened and how we handled it.

I saw something in Burns, Tennessee today that really got under my skin. As someone who's been fixing crawl spaces for years, I've seen my share of bad work. But this one? This is exactly why I'm always telling people to be careful about who they hire.

Here's something most contractors won't tell you: installing a crawl space system is just the first step. What really matters is what happens in the years that follow. I want to share a real situation that just happened with one of our customers - it shows exactly why maintenance matters and why you need a company that sticks around.

Ever had a contractor leave your yard looking like a construction site? I've seen it too many times - piles of old insulation, scattered debris, and dumpsters sitting in driveways for days. That's not how we do things at Crawl Logic.
