Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Fresh Air in Crawl Space in Hamilton, VA
A homeowner near Hamiton, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after finding mold in their crawl space! The air from the crawl space does flow up and into the home - we call it the 'Stack Effect'. A Fortress System Designer met with the homeowner and explained how air from your crawlspace enters your home along with everything in it - odors, and mold spores and dust mite feces. Air, often filled with more moisture, gets sucked into the crawlspace from the outdoors. In this sense, a poorly designed crawl space acts like a bad air machine! To stop the nasty cycle, this homeowner was ready to get an encapsulation. Foreman Nick Mori and his crew, installed the SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and a Smart Sump Sump Pump. These work together to keep the crawl space dry and the air humidity low. Now this crawl space is only sending clean, moisture controlled air up into the home.
