What Is a Crawl Space?
If you have a crawl space foundation, the crawl space is the area under your home. A crawl space foundation raises a house from 1.5 to 3 feet off the ground, creating a space with just enough room to crawl but not stand up. The structures in a crawl space include pier blocks, support piers, girders/beams, and floor joists.
Crawl space foundations were very popular before the 1960s. Homeowners like crawl space foundations because they offer easy access to the home’s plumbing and wiring and are easy to repair. While crawl space foundations are still being built, slab-on-grade foundations are more popular today.

- If you’re not experienced fixing crawl spaces, you could perform the repair incorrectly.
