Crawl space repair in Franklin, WV

Challenge

A homeowner in Franklin began noticing that their hardwood floors were warping and separating. Suspecting moisture issues beneath the home, they inspected the crawl space and found condensation, standing water, and visible signs of rot along the joists. Concerned about further structural damage, they contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for help.

Solution

Our System Design Specialist identified elevated humidity and poor moisture control as the root cause. The team installed the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier, completely encapsulating the crawl space to block ground moisture and humidity from entering the area.

To manage groundwater and keep the space dry year-round, we installed the TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System, providing triple-pump protection and reliable operation during power outages.

To maintain ideal humidity levels, the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was added, ensuring clean, dry air circulation throughout the crawl space.

The result was a dry, healthy crawl space that stabilized the home’s flooring and improved the overall indoor environment.
