In Stephenson, Katie had been dealing with ongoing moisture problems in her large 1,700-square-foot crawl space. Excess humidity and water intrusion were creating concerns about air quality, energy efficiency, and potential long-term damage beneath the home. During our inspection, we found standing moisture, poor drainage, and consistently high humidity levels throughout the crawl space.
Scott and the crew installed a complete crawl space encapsulation system designed to permanently control moisture and protect the home. An EZ Flow drainage system was added to direct water away from the crawl space, along with two TripleSafe™ sump pumps for reliable water removal and backup protection.
To fully seal the space, we installed our CleanSpace® vapor barrier to lock out ground moisture and create a clean, controlled environment. SilverGlo™ wall insulation was added to improve energy efficiency and temperature regulation, while two SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifiers were installed to maintain healthy humidity levels throughout the crawl space.
As shown in the after photos, the crawl space is now clean, dry, and fully protected—giving Katie a healthier, more energy-efficient home with long-lasting moisture protection.
Homeowner in Inwood, WV gets an upgraded crawl space access door that is sealed and accessible. Keeping pests and outside humidity air out and cleaner inside air in.
Inwood, West Virginia homeowner Brian reached out to Fortress after noticing bouncy floors, significant sagging, gaps between the wall and floor joints, and a musty smell throughout his living areas. After noticing all of these warning signs, he finally reached out for a free estimate.
Riley came out to perform a comprehensive evaluation. During his inspection, he found foundation vents, standing water, exposed earth, homemade wooden shims, and organic growth on the floor joists. Through years of crawl space expertise, he knew exactly what this homeowner needed to protect the longevity of his home.
The proposed solution included 3 SmartJacks, 14 feet of supplemental beam, 318 feet of EZ Flow pipe, 2,421 square feet of CleanSpace vapor barrier, 2 SaniDry Sedona dehumidifiers, an UltraSump, a SuperSump pump system, and 294 feet of SilverGlo insulation—protecting this crawl space for many years to come.
