Crawl space encapsulation in New Midway, MD!
Challenge
When the homeowners in New Midway, MD, faced a worrying scenario with their recent home addition, it all stemmed from the crawl space beneath. After expanding their beloved home, they complied with county regulations by unsealing a crawl space window to ensure airflow from their unfinished basement, which lacked heating, ventilation, or air conditioning. However, unintended consequences arose; a dreadful smell in their living space and fears of mold started to take over.
Solution
Understanding the urgency and the potential risk to their home’s value and their health, the homeowners reached out to us at Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our process kicked off with our Customer Care team, who promptly arranged for a Home Inspection. System Designer, Kurtis took charge, visiting the home to assess the problem firsthand.
It became clear that a powerful combination of our tried and tested solutions was needed: CleanSpace and SilverGlo. The installation, undertaken by our skillful production team consisting of a seasoned foreman and detail-oriented installers, transformed the nasty crawl space. CleanSpace, a vapor barrier system, encapsulates the area, warding off moisture, organic growth, and the external elements. Paired with SilverGlo insulation panels, designed to significantly enhance thermal efficiency, the duo promised warmth and dryness during colder spells without compromising air quality.
The outcome not only solved the immediate issue—eliminating odors and the threat of mold—but also underpinned the foundation (both literally and metaphorically) for a healthier, more durable home. The homeowners were relieved and pleased; with their living space restored to a comfortable state.
