Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Madison Heights was leaking and moldy. The dirt floor was covered in a thin layer of plastic that did not stop water and mud from getting in. Fortress solved these problems by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System to ensure that this crawl space will stay clean and dry!

This large crawl space in Madison Heights had many issues caused by water intrusion. Not only were the walls stained, but there was also mold growing on them. This not only affects the crawl space, but also the air quality of the entire house. Mold is a big issue that can cause insomnia, heightened anxiety and depression, hair loss and many cold-like symptoms. Long-term exposure can even cause long term and sometimes permanent lung damage! Fortress believes in treating every homeowner like family and wants to make sure that our family is not becoming sick by and easily solved problem. Fortress went to this home and installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation, a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System, a full perimeter WaterGuard, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This family can rest assured that their crawl space is clean, dry, and mold free!

After finding mold in their crawlspace this homeowner was ready to take action. Our team installed CleanSpace, EZFlow drainage system, Smart Sump pump and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier.

System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, went out to a home where the owners had lived for over 30 years! Chris did a thorough inspection of their crawl space and provided a permanent solution that will eliminate their fear of water entering their crawl space! 

Our Foreman, David Bowers, and his crew completed a full crawl space encapsulation system which included two Smart Sump Pumps, one SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier and our Clean Space vapor barrier system to keep their new crawl space nice and dry. 

These homeowners approached Fortress Foundation Solutions for help with their dug-out crawlspace. Their crawlspace was getting penetrated by water at the floor level and mold was beginning to grow on the block walls. Because these homeowners used their crawlspace for storage and a home-workshop, they were worried about their personal belongings getting ruined by the incoming water and the damp, humid environment it was causing.; The incoming water was not only staining the concrete walls and floors, but it was also dampening the plywood the homeowner kept in the basement. A majority of this home’s problems were caused by the lack of a proper drainage system. Because of having little drainage, standing water puddles were also forming in the crawlspace. Fortress provided many solutions for this home’s crawlspace problems. To waterproof the walls of the crawlspace we applied CleanSpace panels to the walls. At the base of the walls, we installed WaterGuard, which captures all of the water that might penetrate the CleanSpace (if it even gets through!).
