Courtney was dealing with water intrusion, high humidity, and mold in the crawl space beneath her Esmont, Virginia home. The ongoing moisture problems were creating an unhealthy environment and putting the home at risk for further damage.
Travis and Jack installed a complete crawl space encapsulation system, including our EZFlow drainage system, CleanSpace vapor barrier, TripleSafe sump pump, and SilverGlo insulation. As shown in the after photo, the crawl space is now dry, sealed, and protected from moisture, providing a healthier and more energy-efficient environment beneath the home.
Concerned by rising energy bills and a persistent chill, a family in Paw Paw, WV discovered that their existing crawl space insulation was no longer effective. After receiving a trusted referral, they reached out to our team for a comprehensive solution.
Our experts identified moisture intrusion through gaps in the crawl space as the root cause. We installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier and SilverGlo insulation panels to seal and insulate the area, significantly enhancing energy efficiency and indoor air quality. To maintain optimal humidity levels, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added—quietly ensuring dry, healthy air circulation throughout the home.
With their crawl space properly sealed and conditioned, the homeowners now enjoy a more comfortable living environment and reduced energy costs—proving that true home efficiency starts from the ground up.
David H. noticed cracking on several of their basement walls. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, setting an appointment, and receiving an inspection and recommendation from one of our system designers, David chose to accept our proposal to fix their foundation issues for good! We turned to our PowerBrace system to stabilize their walls against further bowing. PowerBraces are a great option for stabilizing walls and we're so glad that we were able to utilize them for our clients!
Your Crawl Space should be an accessible area to your home! Fortress Foundation Solutions was able to make that possible at this home in Charlottesville, Virginia by fully Encapsulating the Crawl Space. We started by using our Water Drainage Matting to keep any water that may come up from the ground out of the crawl space. Next, we installed our Clean Space Vapor Barrier System and SilverGlo Insulation to keep dirt and critters from getting into the crawl space. Lastly, our Production Crew installed our Triple Safe Sump Pump System to redirect any water getting in through the walls back outside, and the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This Crawl Space Encapsulation Process allows a clean and dry environment for these homeowners.
Julia, a homeowner in Charlottesville, Virginia reached out to us at Fortress for repairs on a bowing block wall in her basement. Our team inspected the area and then installed 12 CarbonArmor Wall Support Straps to the affected area's. CarbonArmors are a great choice for minor wall movement and can be easily finished over.
