Crawl Space Encapsulation in Skipwith, VA

Challenge

A couple noticed foul odors drifting through their home and their energy bills rising every season. After some investigation, they discovered a damp crawl space filled with standing water and moldy insulation. The conditions not only threatened the structure of their home but also affected their comfort and health.

Solution

Fortress Foundation Solutions designed a full crawl space encapsulation system. The crew installed a heavy-duty vapor barrier across the floors and walls, added insulation, and set up a high-capacity dehumidifier to control humidity. They also addressed existing mold and ensured all electrical and plumbing systems were protected during the work.

Result
The transformation was dramatic. The odors disappeared, energy bills dropped noticeably, and the couple gained peace of mind knowing their crawl space was no longer a hazard. The clean, dry environment will protect their home for decades.
