If you pick any exterior wall and dig down about 12 inches on the wall and you don’t see what looks like black paint plastic or a product called drain board, then mostly likely that wall is not waterproof. – Craig SpiesmanDry ice blasting is extremely environmentally friendly. The thing that’s great about it is that it micro abrades the wood surface so basically it’s going to strip off that first layer of wood and it’s going to leave the crawlspace immaculate. – Craig SpiesmanThe ductwork is a perfect breeding ground for trapping pet dander, pet hair, mold spores, allergens, dust and it can just wreak havoc on your health if you have really dirty ductwork. We recommend to have your ductwork looked at maybe once every 3 to 5 years depending on how your system is set up. – Craig Spiesman
