Lynchburg, VA crawl space encapsulation with CleanSpace!
Challenge
A homeowner in Lynchburg, Mike D., reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after experiencing ongoing moisture issues beneath his home. He had noticed a strong musty smell indoors and discovered damp insulation when checking the crawl space. The problem seemed to worsen during periods of heavy rain.
Our inspection revealed exposed soil, high humidity levels, and insulation that had deteriorated due to prolonged moisture exposure. Ground vapor was entering the crawl space freely, creating a damp environment that could lead to mold growth and potential damage to the wooden framing of the home.
Solution
Fortress Foundation Solutions recommended installing a full crawl space encapsulation system to eliminate the moisture problem. Our team installed the CleanSpace® Vapor Barrier along the crawl space floor and foundation walls to block ground moisture.
To ensure the crawl space remained dry year-round, we installed a SaniDry™ Sedona Dehumidifier to regulate humidity levels and improve air quality.
After installation, Mike D.’s crawl space in Lynchburg was dry and stable. He reported a noticeable improvement in indoor air quality and comfort, along with confidence that his home was protected from future moisture issues.
