A lot of Lee County homes sit above the ground: older homes on piers or stem walls, homes raised to meet flood rules, and manufactured homes on piers behind skirting. The space underneath tends to collect things: leftover tile and lumber, storage bins, old lawn equipment, pieces from the last renovation. We bring ordinary household contents out of those spaces by hand and haul them away. Text photos taken from the opening and tell us what’s under there.
Three kinds of under-house space in Lee County
In an older home on piers or stem walls, the crawl space is usually behind a vent or a small access panel, with a couple of feet of headroom. Things get pushed in and forgotten, and the job is mostly about how far they sit from the opening.
Then there are homes raised for flood rules. Under FEMA’s rules, a building whose repair cost reaches 50 percent of its pre-damage market value is “substantially damaged” and has to be brought into compliance with current local floodplain standards, which is one reason homes in flood zones get raised after a storm. FEMA says enclosed areas below the base flood elevation may only be used for building access, vehicle parking and storage, and that storage there should be limited to low-damage items that won’t suffer flood damage or can be moved up. Those ground-level enclosures fill up with exactly that kind of thing: bins, tools, outdoor furniture and anything meant to be moved upstairs later.
Under a manufactured home, the space sits behind the skirting. HUD’s installation standards call for at least one access opening at least 18 inches wide and 24 inches high (and at least 3 square feet), placed so the utility connections under the home can be reached. That opening is often the only way in, so the size of what’s under there matters as much as how much there is.
What we check before we take it on
Every crawl space is looked at before it’s priced. We need room to work, dry and safe access, ventilation and light, and no exposed wiring, and the crew works in pairs with protective equipment. Standing water or sewage, animals or carcasses, active pests, suspected asbestos, heavy mold, structural instability or an unsafe way out need a specialist first; tell us about them and we’ll plan the removal around that work.
If you’re unsure about any of that, don’t go in to take photos. Photograph from the opening and tell us what you know.
A contents job, not remediation
We bring out the household contents you’ve released and haul them away. Plumbing, moisture problems, pest treatment, insulation remediation and structural repairs are work for other trades. If one of them stands between us and the contents, it needs to be handled first.
What changes the price
Everything comes out by hand, so the price follows the work: the size of the opening, how far the contents sit from it, how much headroom there is, and how much there is and what it’s made of (a stack of leftover tile weighs far more than the same pile of bins). A walk-in enclosure under a raised home is a different job from a two-foot crawl space, so tell us which you have. See how pricing works.
Where it can go in Lee County
If you’d rather handle some of it yourself, or it’s still worth giving away, these are the local options. Each organization decides what it accepts, so check with them before you load the car.
