Crawl Space Repair in Collinsville, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Collinsville contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after experiencing ongoing indoor air quality concerns and fluctuating humidity levels. The home felt damp during humid seasons, and musty smells were most noticeable near floor vents. An inspection of the crawl space revealed exposed soil, elevated humidity, and condensation forming along insulation and framing materials.
The damp environment beneath the home allowed moisture-laden air to rise into the living space, impacting comfort and efficiency. Without proper encapsulation, the crawl space conditions would continue to promote mold growth and potential wood deterioration. The homeowner wanted a comprehensive solution that would address the root cause of the moisture problem.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a complete CleanSpace™ crawl space encapsulation system, sealing the floor and walls to prevent moisture intrusion. The heavy-duty vapor barrier created a dry and controlled space beneath the home.
A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to maintain optimal humidity levels and improve air quality. After completion, the crawl space remained dry, indoor comfort improved, and the homeowner felt confident knowing their crawl space was protected by a long-term moisture control solution.
