Ashley Smith says, “We had Elijah come to our home in Camas to give an estimate for locating/removing whatever had died in our crawl space. We had gotten another bid that quoted over $5,000 to rip out and replace the insulation & vapor barrier, because they said it would be almost impossible to locate the exact location of the dead animal. We couldnt afford that, so I was super discouraged and stressed with the prospect of enduring whatever was causing the smell that was saturating our whole downstairs. Elijah was so incredibly kind, and pretty much as soon as we started going over the house I felt my stress ease as he explained possible scenarios of what we were dealing with. You could see his knowledge and care as he took the time to show me everything he was seeing. I showed him where it smelled the worst, which was over the part of the crawlspace that was blocked off from the rest of the house due to previous additions, and only accessible outside. There were also heating ducts that made it really difficult to move around down there. Not only did he go down there without hesitation, but he found the dead rat, disposed of it for us, and hung up the odor eliminator I had gotten. He gave us a bid for fixing the access point where the rat had gotten in and cleaning some things up down there, but also gave me detailed information on how we could do some of the things ourselves. I was so impressed by his integrity, knowledge, kindness, and friendly demeanor. He took such the truly heinous situation like of rat dying in your crawl space, and turned it into such a profoundly good one where I feel like I saw the good in humanity again. Plus my dog loved him!”
