Low-profit, high-hassle job. They are stalling, hoping you go elsewhere.
Work in a crawl is miserable under good conditions- 18" crawl is 'Great
Escape' category even when dry, muddy only compounds it. Is there a closet
near kitchen where you can add an access hatch? Is it a real foundation, or
is house on piers with just a decorative perimeter where you could add
another outside hatch on that end of house?

Good example of why I crossed off crawlspace-only houses while house
shopping. This place does have a crawl under addition, but it is dry and 48"
headroom- a pain, but livable. And only a couple pipes go through there.
