Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Mold, Moisture and Mildew All Gone in This Sandy Hook Crawl Space

A homeowner in Sandy Hook, VA had concerns with his damp and musty bedroom. He noticed it soon after he moved into the home three years ago. Unable to continue living in these circumstances, he reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions for a permanent fix.  One of our System Designers, Paul Heckman, went to the house to conduct a free home inspection. While completing the inspection, Paul noticed that the existing encapsulation system in the crawl space was not keeping moisture out as it was intended. This was the source of the damp and musty bedroom. Mold, wood rot, and other negative effects also resulted because of it. The wood rot has caused cracks in the wall and doors not to shut properly. Josh recommended installing our SuperSump sump pump, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SuperSump sits in a basin in the crawl space and pumps out water that is surrounding the outside of the foundation. The CleanSpace vapor barrier properly encapsulates the crawl space to keep out moisture, which protects against mold, wood rot, and pests. The SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier further helps prevent against moisture, creating a dry space and delivering better air quality to the entire home. The homeowner loved the final result. He will look to us when completing future home projects.
