Nasty crawl space repair in Gaithersburg, Maryland
Challenge
Steven and Linda had been dealing with freezing cold floors in the winter and hot, humid, musty conditions in the summer for years inside their Williamsport, Maryland home. They tried sealing doors and covering windows, but nothing solved the issue. When they finally inspected their crawl space, they discovered exposed dirt, failing insulation, and open vents allowing outside air and moisture underneath the home.
Solution
After calling Fortress for a free estimate, Matt designed a crawl space encapsulation solution to properly seal and protect the space beneath the home. Pete and the crew installed the system shown in the after photo, helping improve comfort, reduce humidity, and create a healthier, more energy efficient home. Steven and Linda are already noticing warmer floors in the winter, less humidity in the summer, and even lower electric bills.
