Tom A. of Forest, VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after smelling musty smells coming from his crawl space. He and his wife both have breathing problems and were concerned about the affects of mold and mildew on their health.

Before our intervention, this Centreville crawl space was susceptible to moisture and mold, posing potential structural risks and contributing to unpleasant odors. With humidity and excess moisture being primary issues in unsealed areas, the environment was leading to wood rot, pest infestations, and even impacting energy bills. Our solution involved installing the CleanSpace® encapsulation system, as highlighted in the after photo. This high-quality, 20-mil liner effectively sealed the space, arresting moisture infiltration and creating a dry, protected foundation. With this system, we assured the homeowner a healthier and more energy-efficient home.
