Crawl Space Repair in Hagerstown, Maryland
Challenge
A homeowner in Hagerstown reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after dealing with a crawl space that remained damp for much of the year. Moisture accumulated beneath the home after rainfall, and musty odors frequently entered the living areas. Over time, the homeowner noticed early signs of wood deterioration on floor joists and beams, raising concerns about long-term structural damage.
An inspection revealed exposed soil and high humidity levels within the crawl space. Without proper moisture control, ground moisture continuously evaporated into the crawl space air, creating an environment conducive to mold growth and pest activity. The homeowner wanted a long-term solution to fully protect the crawl space and prevent future damage.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a comprehensive CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system, sealing the crawl space floor, walls, and support piers to block moisture intrusion. The system created a dry, clean environment beneath the home and helped stabilize humidity levels.
A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to regulate moisture and improve air quality. Once completed, the crawl space remained dry and odor-free, and the homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their home’s structure was protected.
