Rotted joists, sagging floors, and vapor barriers in older Shirley homes
A house built in the 1960s has had its floor joists sitting over a dirt crawl space for about sixty years, and damp air down there can rot wood over that time. Christian checks the joists first, since a floor is only as level as the wood holding it up.
A floor that sags or bounces can mean the joists under it have rotted. Sagging floor repair brings the floor back level once the wood beneath it is sound.
A vapor barrier is the plastic sheet laid over the crawl space dirt to keep ground moisture away from the wood above it. Under a house this old, the original one can be torn or missing.

Crawl space prices, in the order the work gets done
These are typical ranges, not quotes. After the inspection you get a written price with a reason for every line.
Water first
Anything built under a house gets wet again if water still gets in, so drainage, pumps and downspouts come first.
Wood second
Rotted joists and a sagging floor get repaired before anything is sealed, because a liner would have to be cut open to reach them later. Mold and debris come out first for the same reason.
Air last
Once the water and wood are sorted, a vapor barrier or full encapsulation seals the space, and a dehumidifier keeps the air dry.
Every range, with what moves the price up or down, is on one page.
