Crawl Space Repair in Thurmont, Maryland
Challenge
A homeowner in Thurmont contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing uneven indoor temperatures and increased humidity throughout the home. Floors felt cold and damp during cooler months, while musty odors became more noticeable during humid weather. A crawl space inspection revealed moisture buildup, exposed soil, and condensation forming on insulation and wooden framing beneath the home.
The damp crawl space environment allowed moisture to migrate into the living space, reducing energy efficiency and creating uncomfortable indoor conditions. The homeowner wanted a solution that would dry out the crawl space while also improving comfort and energy performance.
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 humidity and stabilize temperatures 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.
