Crawl Space Repair in Rustburg, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Rustburg reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after years of dealing with a crawl space that stayed damp throughout the year. Moisture consistently entered through the exposed ground and accumulated beneath the home, especially after rainfall. Over time, musty odors migrated into the living areas, and early signs of wood deterioration appeared on floor joists and beams.
The homeowner also noticed increased pest activity in the crawl space, drawn by the damp environment. Concerned that ongoing moisture exposure could lead to mold growth and structural damage, they wanted a comprehensive, long-term solution to fully protect their crawl space and home.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a CleanSpace™ vapor barrier system to encapsulate the crawl space and block ground moisture. The liner was sealed along the foundation walls and around all structural supports, creating a continuous moisture barrier.
A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was added to regulate humidity levels and keep the crawl space dry year-round. After installation, moisture levels were dramatically reduced, odors were eliminated, and the crawl space was transformed into a dry, healthy environment. The homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their home’s structure was protected.
