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