Crawl Space Repair in Cullen, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Cullen reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after dealing with a damp crawl space that stayed humid year-round. After heavy rain, moisture collected beneath the home, and musty odors migrated into the living areas. Over time, the homeowner began noticing early signs of wood deterioration along the floor framing and support beams.
An inspection revealed exposed soil, elevated humidity levels, and poor moisture control in the crawl space. Without a vapor barrier in place, ground moisture continuously evaporated into the air, creating an environment favorable for mold growth and structural decay. The homeowner wanted a permanent solution that would protect the crawl space and prevent further damage.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a full CleanSpace™ vapor barrier system, encapsulating the crawl space floor and walls to block moisture intrusion. The system created a sealed, controlled environment beneath the home.
To further regulate moisture, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to maintain consistent humidity levels. After installation, the crawl space was dry and odor-free, structural components were protected, and the homeowner gained peace of mind knowing their home was safeguarded against long-term moisture damage.
