Crawl Space Repair in Hagerstown, Maryland
Challenge
A third homeowner in Hagerstown contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after experiencing increased allergy symptoms and uneven indoor temperatures. The crawl space beneath the home had an exposed dirt floor and no vapor protection. Moisture vapor was rising into the home, contributing to poor air quality and reduced energy efficiency.
During inspection, elevated humidity levels were measured beneath the home, and early signs of mold were observed on wooden joists. The homeowner wanted a comprehensive repair approach that would protect both the structure and indoor air environment.
Solution
Our team recommended a full encapsulation using the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier System to create a sealed and protected crawl space. The durable liner was professionally installed along the floor and walls, eliminating ground moisture intrusion.
To ensure ongoing humidity control, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was installed to maintain balanced moisture levels year-round. After completion, indoor air quality improved noticeably, and the crawl space remained dry and stable regardless of outdoor conditions. The homeowner felt confident knowing their Hagerstown home was safeguarded against moisture-related damage.
