Crawl Space Repair in Nellysford, Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Nellysford reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after experiencing ongoing musty odors and increased humidity throughout their home. Floors felt cool and slightly damp during certain seasons, and the homeowner noticed condensation forming near vents. A crawl space inspection revealed exposed soil and significant moisture buildup beneath the home.
Without a proper vapor barrier in place, ground moisture continuously evaporated into the crawl space air, creating a damp environment that threatened both structural components and indoor air quality. The homeowner was concerned about potential mold growth and wanted a long-term solution that would fully address the moisture problem at its source.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a comprehensive CleanSpace™ vapor barrier system, sealing the crawl space floor and walls to prevent ground moisture from entering. The heavy-duty liner created a protective barrier and stabilized the environment beneath the home.
To regulate humidity levels year-round, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed. Once completed, the crawl space remained dry, indoor air quality improved, and the homeowner gained confidence knowing their home was protected from moisture-related damage.
