Airtight encapsulation in Chantilly, VA
Challenge
A homeowner in Chantilly, VA, was dealing with excess moisture and musty odors throughout their home. The root cause was a dirt crawl space, which was compromising indoor air quality and posed risks of mold growth and structural damage. The moisture issues created a damp, unhealthy environment that could lead to long-term problems if left unresolved.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions responded by first coordinating a free estimate. A System Designer assessed the crawl space and developed a targeted plan to address the moisture issue.
The team implemented several advanced products and techniques:
-
CleanSpace™ Drainage Matting was installed on the crawl space floor to direct water runoff away from the foundation, creating a durable surface.
-
CleanSpace® Encapsulation System sealed the area to eliminate dampness and contaminants.
-
SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Wall Insulation improved moisture control and enhanced energy efficiency along the crawl space walls.
-
SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier was added to maintain humidity levels below mold- and dust mite-supporting thresholds.
The result was a fully transformed crawl space—clean, dry, and energy-efficient—improving the overall health and stability of the home and eliminating moisture-related issues in the living areas above.
