Crawl Space Repair in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Harpers Ferry contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after years of dealing with a crawl space that stayed damp throughout the year. Moisture collected beneath the home after rainstorms, and musty odors regularly migrated into the living areas. The homeowner became concerned about mold growth and the long-term impact of moisture on the home’s structural components.
An inspection revealed exposed soil and elevated humidity levels within the crawl space. Without a proper vapor barrier, ground moisture continuously evaporated into the crawl space air, creating conditions favorable for mold growth and wood deterioration. The homeowner wanted a comprehensive, permanent solution to protect the crawl space and improve overall home health.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system to seal out ground moisture. The system was paired with a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier to maintain proper humidity levels and improve air quality.
Once completed, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, clean environment. Odors were eliminated, moisture levels were controlled, and the homeowner gained lasting peace of mind knowing their crawl space was protected.
