Crawl Space Repair in Round Hill, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Round Hill, Virginia was concerned about worsening air quality inside their home. Family members were experiencing frequent headaches, allergies, and lingering respiratory discomfort. The home smelled damp, especially during warm weather. When the crawl space was inspected, the cause became clear. Exposed soil, wet insulation, and condensation on plumbing lines created a constantly humid environment. Mold spores were present, and moisture was being pulled into the living space through the natural airflow of the home.
The homeowner feared that continued exposure to this environment could lead to long-term health problems and damage to their property. They wanted a solution that would permanently control moisture and improve indoor air quality.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System to fully encapsulate the crawl space. The heavy-duty liner sealed off the soil and walls, blocking moisture from entering the air.
To further protect the home, we added the SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier, which continuously removes humidity while filtering allergens, mold spores, and dust. This created a clean, dry, and healthy crawl space environment that supports the entire home above.
Once the system was in place, humidity levels dropped dramatically, musty odors disappeared, and indoor air quality improved. The homeowner finally felt confident that their crawl space was no longer harming their home or their family’s health.
