Crawl Space Repair in Rohrersville, MD
Challenge
A homeowner in Rohrersville reached out after discovering standing water and falling insulation in their crawl space. Moisture collected after rainstorms and lingered for days, saturating fiberglass insulation and causing it to fall from between the floor joists. The damp conditions led to cold floors in winter, high humidity indoors, and a strong musty smell throughout the house.
The homeowner was concerned that prolonged moisture exposure would lead to wood rot, mold growth, and increased energy costs. They wanted a permanent solution that would protect the crawl space and improve overall comfort.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a CleanSpace™ vapor barrier, sealing the crawl space floor and walls to block ground moisture. A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was added to regulate humidity and dry out the space completely. Once complete, insulation remained dry, the crawl space was protected, and indoor comfort improved year-round.
