Crawl Space Repair in Hagerstown, Maryland
Challenge
A homeowner in Hagerstown began noticing warped hardwood floors and increased allergy symptoms inside the home. Suspecting moisture issues, they contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for an evaluation.
During inspection, the crawl space was found to have exposed soil, standing water in low areas, and deteriorating insulation. Moisture from the ground was continuously evaporating into the space, contributing to high humidity levels that affected the living areas above. If left untreated, the environment could lead to mold growth and structural wood damage.
Solution
The team recommended installing the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System to fully encapsulate the crawl space. The durable liner was carefully secured to floors and walls, sealing out ground moisture and preventing further vapor intrusion.
A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to actively regulate humidity and improve air circulation. Once complete, the crawl space remained dry and controlled regardless of outside weather conditions.
The homeowner noticed improved comfort inside the home and felt confident knowing their Hagerstown property was protected with a long-term moisture control solution.
