Terms of Use

Last updated: January 1, 2026

By accessing or using crawlspacecostcalculator.com (the "Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the Site.

Nature of the Service

CrawlSpaceCostCalculator.com provides free, informational cost estimates for crawl space encapsulation projects. All estimates are generated algorithmically based on publicly available labor cost data (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Construction Labor Cost Index), standard material rates, and inputs you provide. These estimates are intended for planning and budgeting purposes only.

Disclaimer of Warranties

Estimates are not quotes. The cost estimates provided by this Site are approximations based on general market data. Actual project costs will vary based on your specific crawl space conditions, local contractor pricing, material availability, and other factors that cannot be assessed remotely. Always obtain written quotes from three or more licensed contractors before committing to any project.

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that estimates will be accurate for your specific situation.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, CrawlSpaceCostCalculator.com and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or reliance on the Site or its estimates. This includes but is not limited to financial losses arising from contractor decisions made based on calculator estimates.

Informational Purpose Only

Nothing on this Site constitutes professional engineering advice, structural advice, or a formal contractor estimate. Crawl space conditions vary significantly by home age, construction type, geographic location, soil conditions, and many other factors. We strongly recommend:

  • Having your crawl space inspected in person by a qualified contractor before making any decisions
  • Obtaining at least three written quotes from licensed, insured contractors
  • Verifying local permit requirements with your building department
  • Testing for radon before and after any encapsulation work

Contractor Referrals

Where this Site facilitates contractor referrals or waitlist signups, we do not endorse, guarantee, or warrant the quality, licensing, insurance status, or workmanship of any contractor. You are solely responsible for vetting any contractor before hiring them. We are not a party to any contract between you and a contractor.

You may use the calculator and read the content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, republish, or commercially exploit Site content without written permission.

Links to Third-Party Sites

This Site may link to third-party websites for reference purposes. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or privacy practices of any third-party site. Links do not constitute endorsement.

Modifications

We reserve the right to modify these Terms of Use at any time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Governing Law

These Terms of Use are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of DuPage County, Illinois.
