Crawl Space Repair in Culpeper, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Culpeper contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing uneven temperatures and persistent humidity inside their home. Floors felt cold and damp during cooler months, and musty odors became more noticeable during humid weather. A crawl space inspection revealed exposed soil, moisture buildup, and condensation forming on insulation and wooden framing.
The damp crawl space environment allowed moisture to rise into the living space, reducing energy efficiency and creating conditions favorable for mold growth. The homeowner wanted a solution that would not only dry out the crawl space but also improve comfort and efficiency throughout the home.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a complete CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system, sealing the ground and walls to prevent moisture intrusion. The vapor barrier created a clean, dry space beneath the home and helped regulate temperatures.
To further control moisture, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to maintain optimal humidity levels and improve air quality. After installation, the crawl space remained dry, indoor comfort improved, and the homeowner experienced more consistent temperatures throughout the home.
