Crawl Space Repair in Ridgeway, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Ridgeway contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after experiencing ongoing indoor humidity and musty odors that seemed to originate beneath the home. Floors felt cool and slightly damp during certain seasons, and energy bills had gradually increased. An inspection of the crawl space revealed significant moisture buildup, exposed soil, and condensation forming on insulation and framing materials.
The damp crawl space conditions allowed moisture-laden air to rise into the living space, affecting comfort and air quality. Without proper encapsulation and humidity control, the problem would likely worsen over time. The homeowner wanted a comprehensive solution to protect both the crawl space and the interior living environment.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a complete CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system, sealing the floor and walls to prevent moisture intrusion. The heavy-duty liner helped create a dry and controlled environment beneath the home.
A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to regulate humidity and filter the air. After completion, the crawl space remained dry, indoor air quality improved, and the homeowner noticed greater comfort and efficiency throughout the home.
