##  [What is a crawl space?](/faq/what-crawl-space) 

 A [crawl space](/service-category/crawl-space-repair) is an area beneath a house designed to house wiring, ductwork, heating and cooling equipment, and plumbing. The crawl space is usually just tall enough to allow a person to get to these things to work on them, but not tall enough to allow one to stand in. A crawl space may have a dirt or cement floor.
