crawl space
Under-house access area
A crawl space is a shallow area beneath a building's first floor, too low to stand in but accessible by crawling.
It provides access to plumbing, wiring, and ductwork while elevating the structure above ground moisture.
The plumber spent an hour in the crawl space fixing the leak.
