Crawlspace Medic

What Crawlspace Medic does

Crawlspace Medic is a home-services franchise company specializing in crawl space and basement inspection, moisture control, structural repair, and waterproofing solutions. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Columbia, United States, the company delivers services through 38+ locally owned and operated franchise branches across 11 states (Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia). Its technical core is conventional but engineered building science: heavy-duty polyethylene vapor barriers (10-20 mil), interior French drain systems with sump pumps, commercial-grade dehumidifiers, structural framing and pier/post repairs, and full encapsulation systems designed to convert open crawl spaces into sealed, climate-controlled zones. The company also operates the Basement Pros sub-brand for basement waterproofing and supports termite, dry rot, and water damage remediation.

The business model is a classic service-franchise platform with three revenue layers. At the unit level, franchisees generate project-based professional services revenue, with average unit revenue of $1,028,710 and median of $848,138 in FY2024 at a stated 60% gross profit margin; ticket sizes on encapsulation projects range from $1,500 to $15,000+ with an average near $5,500. At the brand level, Crawlspace Medic collects an initial franchise fee of $59,000 plus ongoing royalties on each new unit opened. Customer acquisition runs through free on-site inspections with photo-documented reports, a sales-led field team that converts inspections into same-visit estimates, a dedicated Realtor Program with next-business-day report turnaround, and consumer financing through Regions Bank (formerly EnerBankUSA) to underwrite larger projects. The customer base is fragmented residential homeowners across the Southeast, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic, supported by 100+ years of combined inspector experience and a content-marketing engine (blog, YouTube, social) that builds organic search authority for crawl space and basement queries.
