"1. Call Center ***** - they took the call after 6:00 PM and were extremely professional. Guy on the phone (sorry I didn't write is name down), was so kind and emailed confirmation immediately.
2. Pre-Visit Confirmation ***** - Email, text and phone calls to confirm the time and prep me for the visit. Incredible. Nobody is doing this right these days and BAU absolutely has it nailed down.
3. Estimator ***** - I wish I could offer more than 5 stars. Joe Le Bel is the most professional tradesman I've met in a long time. Others are good too, but Joe is the gold standard. He sat with me to ask what I was concerned about and what was important to my family. Who does that???? Oh yeah, Joe did. So comforting.
Joe was professional and respectful of our space. Was careful to be conscientious about where he placed his gear, tools and instruments. Super clean going under the house without tracking dirt and debris back into the house. (The inspectors from HomeGuard could definitely take notes on this!)
Then, once Joe finished, he sat down with us and talked us through all the different aspects off his inspection. What an extremely positive interaction.
I would 100% recommend BAU and Joe. Can't get any better than this.
Thanks BAU for a great culture of excellence. Thanks Joe for being such a good human and professional!"
Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in San Ramon
Moisture and Humidity
Excessive moisture and humidity in your crawl space, often caused by poor ventilation or water seepage, can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and even structural damage.
Poor Drainage
If your home's drainage system isn't working effectively, water can pool around the foundation, raising moisture levels and allowing water to infiltrate the crawl space.
Open Crawl Space Vents
Open vents can bring in outside air and moisture, resulting in condensation, mold growth, pest infestations, and long-term damage to your crawl space.
Soil Conditions
Moisture-retaining soil under or around your home can raise humidity levels in your crawl space, potentially causing structural damage and fostering mold.
Leaking Pipes
A leaking pipe near or inside your crawl space can release excess water, creating conditions for wood rot, mold, and other structural issues.
Insulation Damage
Wet or missing insulation reduces energy efficiency and allows drafts to enter your home.
Stack Effect
Mold and mildew in your crawl space can cause odors that rise into your home. Encapsulation seals off the space, keeping your air fresh and healthy.
