The crawl space in this Powhatan, Virginia home had clear signs of moisture and high humidity in the before photo. Left alone, those conditions can lead to mold, wood rot, and higher energy bills.
We fixed the issue by sealing the space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Encapsulation System to keep moisture out. SilverGlo insulation was added to improve energy efficiency, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier now keeps humidity at a consistent, healthy level.
With these upgrades in place, the crawl space is dry, more efficient, and better for the overall health of the home.
In Mineral, Simon wanted to address moisture concerns in his 1,200-square-foot crawl space before they began affecting the rest of the home. The area was exposed to excess humidity and lacked proper insulation, creating unstable conditions beneath the house and increasing the risk of future moisture-related problems.
Scott and his crew installed a complete CleanSpace® vapor barrier system throughout the crawl space to seal out ground moisture and create a cleaner, more controlled environment beneath the home. To further improve the space, SilverGlo™ insulation was added along the crawl space walls to help regulate temperatures and increase the home’s overall energy efficiency.
As shown in the after photo, the crawl space is now cleaner, drier, and far better protected from future moisture issues. Simon can now enjoy greater peace of mind knowing the area beneath his home is properly sealed, insulated, and built for long-term protection.
In Adamstown, MD, a homeowner was looking to upgrade their crawl space and contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free inspection. Paul, one of our experienced System Designers, performed a thorough evaluation of the crawl space and discovered signs of water intrusion and elevated humidity levels.
After reviewing his findings and recommendations, the homeowners decided to move forward with the project. Our crew removed the hanging insulation, addressed the water issues, installed our drainage system, and tied everything into a TripleSafe™ sump pump system.
While a TripleSafe™ sump pump is not typically necessary in every crawl space, this particular home was taking on a significant amount of water. Based on the conditions, we determined that installing the sump pump was the best long-term solution to properly protect the crawl space and keep it dry.
