Crawl space encapsulation in Alexandria, Virgina

Homeowners in Alexandria, VA, were looking to make their home more comfortable, especially during the extreme temperatures of summer and winter. No matter how much they ran their air conditioning or heat, they noticed little improvement in comfort while their energy bills continued to rise.

They reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free inspection, and our System Designer, Matt, conducted a thorough evaluation of the crawl space. With years of industry experience, Matt quickly identified several issues, including open crawl space vents, exposed dirt, the absence of a dehumidifier, and an improperly sealed crawl space entry door.

To permanently address these problems, Matt recommended a complete crawl space encapsulation. His solution included a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, SilverGlo™ insulation, a SuperSump® pump to manage groundwater, and a high quality dehumidifier to keep the crawl space clean, dry, and healthy year-round.

With this complete encapsulation system, the homeowners can enjoy a more comfortable home, improved energy efficiency, and peace of mind knowing their crawl space is protected from moisture and humidity.
