Crawl space help in Enterprise
Crawl space service for Enterprise, west of Dothan near Fort Rucker.
Enterprise had 28,711 residents at the 2020 census. It spans southeastern Coffee County and southwestern Dale County and lies just outside Fort Rucker. Its Boll Weevil Monument, dedicated in 1919, marks the town's turn from cotton to peanuts and other crops.
Rebuilt neighborhoods and older streets
On March 1, 2007, an EF4 tornado killed nine people in Enterprise, including eight students at Enterprise High School, and caused an estimated $307 million in damage. Parts of town were rebuilt afterward, so Enterprise has a mix of newer homes in those areas and older houses on streets the storm missed. Newer houses usually need vapor barrier and humidity work. Older ones more often need floor support and rot repair.
Storm checks
Tornadoes and strong storms are part of life here. After a severe storm, take a flashlight to the crawl space access: look for displaced piers, broken joists, standing water and torn ground plastic. Hidden structural damage under the floor is easy to miss from inside the house.
Licensing and permits
Ask the City of Enterprise what permits your job needs. For residential work over $10,000, Alabama requires a license from the Home Builders Licensure Board, and an unlimited license if the work affects the structure.
Common questions
Do you cover both the Coffee and Dale County sides of Enterprise?
Yes. Call with your address and we'll connect you with a crawl space company that works there.
Should I check my crawl space after a tornado warning or bad storm?
If trees fell or the house took a hit, yes. Look for shifted piers, broken framing and water, and have a company inspect if anything looks wrong.
