About Portland Crawlspace Pros

Last updated

A neglected crawl space typical of Portland-area housing stock: bare saturated soil with water pooled across it, no working vapor barrier, exposed joists and piers overhead
Portland's older housing stock often hides conditions like this. Licensed CCB contractors in the referral network address them.

Portland Crawlspace Pros is a Portland-area lead-matching and marketing service. We connect homeowners across the Portland metro with licensed, bonded, and insured crawlspace contractors who do the actual repair, encapsulation, waterproofing, and remediation work.

We are not a licensed Oregon CCB contractor and we do not perform crawlspace repair, encapsulation, waterproofing, mold remediation, or any other construction work. All inspections, quotes, and work are performed by the independent third-party licensed contractors we refer you to.

The goal of the site is simple: make it easier for Portland homeowners to find a qualified crawlspace contractor quickly and without a sales pitch. The contractors in the network offer free in-home inspections with no obligation, give written line-item quotes, and stand behind their own warranties.

For Oregon projects, we refer only contractors holding active CCB (Construction Contractors Board) licenses. For Vancouver, WA and surrounding Clark County, we refer contractors holding active Washington L&I licenses. You can verify any contractor's license status at oregon.gov/ccb or the Washington L&I website before signing any contract — including any contractor you reach through this site. Our guide to verifying an Oregon or Washington contractor walks through what to check, what the bond behind a licence actually covers, and the complaint deadlines that decide whether you have recourse.

How Our Content Is Researched

The guides and problem pages on this site are written and reviewed against primary Oregon sources: Oregon Residential Specialty Code R408 (crawlspace ventilation and vapor retarders), Oregon Energy Trust rebate documentation, Oregon DEQ guidance on indoor air quality and moisture, EPA mold and moisture guidance, and NOAA climate normals for Portland. Each guide lists the specific documents it rests on, with the version and the date those documents were last checked. Cost figures are a separate matter and are handled differently: they are modelled estimates rather than collected contractor quotes, and the methodology page states the reference project they price, what they exclude, and their limitations.

Licensed contractors: if you hold an active Oregon CCB or Washington L&I license and want matched homeowner inquiries in your service area, see how the partner program works.
