Crawl Space Repair in Martinsburg, West Virginia
Challenge
A homeowner in Martinsburg contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing cold floors in winter and a persistent damp smell in the home. Upon inspection of the crawl space, they discovered exposed soil, fallen insulation, and visible moisture accumulation along support beams.
Our evaluation revealed that ground vapor and seasonal humidity were creating an ongoing moisture problem beneath the home. Without a vapor barrier, the crawl space acted as a source of humidity that impacted the living areas above. Continued exposure to moisture posed a risk of mold growth and structural deterioration. The homeowner wanted a permanent, professional solution.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System to fully encapsulate the crawl space floor and walls. The heavy-duty liner sealed out moisture and created a clean, controlled environment beneath the home.
A SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to actively manage humidity levels and maintain a dry atmosphere year-round.
Following installation, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, protected space. The homeowner experienced improved comfort, better air quality, and lasting peace of mind knowing their Martinsburg home was properly protected.
