In Ridgeway, a concerned homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing musty odors and persistent moisture issues emanating from their crawl space.

Our Customer Care Specialist efficiently set the wheels in motion by scheduling a comprehensive inspection visit. Our System Design Specialist, a skillful diagnostics expert, conducted a thorough evaluation and recognized the moisture challenges compounded by unsealed crawl space conditions. Understanding the urgency for a reliable and durable solution, we proposed a tailored strategy to encapsulate and insulate the crawl space effectively.

Specifically designed to prevent moisture entry, this insulation creates a cohesive R-11 thermal barrier to preserve indoor climate stability and reduce energy expenditure.

To ensure long-term moisture control, the SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier was strategically installed. Recognized for its efficient moisture extraction capabilities, it plays a critical role in reducing mold risks and alleviating any musty odors by maintaining optimal humidity levels across the home.

In Ridgeway, a homeowner found themselves grappling with an increasingly common problem—a crawl space compromised by moisture and humidity. Faced with moldy smells and rising energy bills, they reached out to our Customer Care Specialist at Fortress Foundation Solutions. Concerned about the structural integrity of their home and the unpleasant odors permeating indoors, quick and efficient intervention was critical.

Our System Design Specialist promptly visited their home to conduct a thorough inspection. It was determined that humidity and moisture were permeating through the crawl space, exacerbating mold growth and dampness throughout the residence. The ideal remedy was to transform the crawl space into a clean, dry space that adds to, rather than detracts from, the property's value.

To achieve this, our team led a meticulous installation of our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. Made from durable materials with advanced antimicrobial treatment, the CleanSpace liner alone offered significant protection against mold and moisture. We further fortified this solution by installing SilverGlo™ Crawl Space Wall Insulation for enhanced energy efficiency. SilverGlo, with its vapor barrier properties, acted as an additional shield against unwanted moisture and temperature variances.
