Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Encapsulated Crawl Space Keeps Unwanted Critters Away in Great Falls, VA
Dan L. of Great Falls, VA was concerned about the crawl space in the home he had just purchased. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions to check it out. System Designer Riley Ethier met with Dan and inspected his crawl space. He found high moisture levels, mildew and animal carcasses - Yikes! Riley provided a free estimate for an encapsulation and Dan agreed. Soon Foreman Edgar and his crew were onsite installing drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Now Dan and his family have a healthy crawl space in their new home!
AFTER - The Amazing Transformation
SilverGlo insulation is on the walls and CleanSpace vapor barrier keeps moisture out!
BEFORE
This crawl space had dead animals and so much moisture the wet insulation was falling down.
Dead Animals
Our system designers often find dead animals in crawl spaces not encapsulated - Yuck!
Useless Plastic
This plastic barrier does not keep moisture out of the crawl space, making the woodwork susceptible to mold and wood rot.
