Crawl Space Repair in Brunswick, Maryland
Challenge
A homeowner in Brunswick reached out after experiencing persistent dampness and cold floors during the winter months. The crawl space beneath the home had an exposed dirt floor and minimal vapor protection. After heavy rains, moisture accumulated beneath the home, creating a humid environment.
Inspection confirmed that ground moisture was the primary source of the problem. Without a proper vapor barrier, the crawl space acted as a reservoir for humidity, allowing moisture to rise into the home. Over time, this condition increased the likelihood of wood rot and mold development.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System to completely seal the crawl space from ground moisture. The heavy-duty liner was precisely fitted and secured to create a continuous barrier.
To ensure long-term moisture control, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was added to maintain optimal humidity levels.
Following installation, the crawl space remained dry and stable, and the home’s interior comfort improved noticeably. The Brunswick homeowner was relieved to have a clean, moisture-controlled foundation space.
