Services
I would recommend Matt with Crawford Inspection Services to anyone. He has been in the business for many years, and knows just about everything that can be wrong with a house, even things that other inspectors commonly miss. Hire him with confidence! Crawford Inspection Services provided a thorough, informative, friendly and professional inspection of the home.
Our reports are clearly worded and include pictures and easy to understand terminology. We don't hand you 20 pages of illegible handwritten comments and confusing check boxes. Each report is written by the person that inspects the house and contains only information specific to YOUR house. You won't find our reports filled with general information or lists of what we're not doing.
In short, most problems throughout crawl spaces in Oregon are the result of excessive moisture or a lack of proper ventilation. A crawl space is typically defined as any void space beneath a heated living space that has a bare dirt floor. In most cases, crawl spaces are surrounded by a perimeter concrete foundation and have some point of access, either from the exterior of the space or from a hatch in the floor of the living space above.
Every problem or shortcoming throughout a house's electrical system results in an elevated risk of injury from electrical shock and/or a fire. Therefore, correcting any problems throughout this system should be at the top of your priority list. Reverse Polarity: This is the result of wiring an outlet "backwards".
An electric service panel is one of the most important safety devices in your home. The panel's main function is to continuously monitor the amount of electricity that's travelling to various places in your house and to turn off if too much is being called for in a certain area.
The reason too much electricity can be a problem is that the wires in the house are sized for a given load and when they are overworked they overheat and can cause a fire.Most electrical equipment manufacturers specify a service life of an electric panel somewhere around 40 years so if yours is older than this you should really consider updating it to maintain the overall safety in your house.

I called Crawford and spoke to Paul. He was the best, super helpful, fast, polite, and gave some tips and booked service. Justin (inspector) came out the following morning and was beyond knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and thorough. 5/5! Amazing service, friendly staff, quality inspection and worth the money!

Matt Fellman did our first inspection on our new home and last week did our 1 year re-inspection. He was very through, professional, efficient and listened to our concerns/questions. He has been in the field/this line of work for some time and would highly recommend him and his company to any family, friend or anyone who is in need of a quality inspection for their home.
We will use him and his team for any future inspection needs.
Thank you Crawford Inspection services!

Crawford always performs a thorough inspection with their experienced inspectors with a varied area of expertise. Whether it's a condo, single/ multi residence or investor flip they assign the appropriate inspector to align with the job providing peace of mind for my buyers. They are always responsive with inquiries and answer the phone (not a receptionist).

I recently went through two home inspections with Crawford. Justin Ventura does an excellent job. He is knowledgeable, clear, professional, detail-oriented and helpful. I will use this company again if we ever purchase another home.
Not only did he explain anything that was outside of my understanding, he also discussed less expensive options for fixing some of the issues.
Very nice to work with and great results!

Crawford Inspection was able to schedule us on short notice, and they accommodated the need to move the appointment at the last minute as the house wasn't ready. Brad was the on-site inspector and he was very thorough, finding things that the builder hadn't found yet (new construction). He gave us a clear and comprehensive verbal report, and followed it up within an hour or so with a thorough electronic report. In addition, we had sewer scoping and radon testing done by Crawford; all went smoothly.

Our inspection was handled by Gus with Crawford and he was very helpful. My husband was present at the inspection and Gus took time to explain his findings and help us know what we should and shouldn't be concerned about. The report was completed and sent to us the same day as the inspection. It was detailed and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this company and use them again if we need an inspection in the future.

Crawford Inspection Services scheduled so quickly. Justin was knowledgeable and provided much needed information on the spot. Follow up reports were provided right after the inspection and they were available for any questions. Great customer service!

I have nothing but good things to say about Crawford Inspection. They were friendly, professional, thorough, and flexible when I needed them for two reinspections in one week. Drake and Gus were great about answering my many, many first time homeowner questions, and let me tag along and explained everything thoroughly. I'm very pleased and would recommend them to anyone.
