This homeowner in Glade Spring had a crawl space that was damp and musty. They reached out to Fortress for a solution to their problem.
Our System Designer, Chris Guill, went out to assess this crawl space and recommended that the best solution would be to install a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.
Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is designed to permanently prevent moisture and outside air from getting into the crawl space. This homeowner now has a crawl space that is clean and dry!
This Pounding Mill basement was moldy and water stained from repeated flooding. Fortress solved this problem by installing WaterGuard with a TripleSafe Sump System and a SaniDry XP. Now the basement will stay mold free and never flood again!
Lawrence T. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering standing water and moisture beginning to damage his wooden floor joists. Moisture-saturated insulation was also falling down in his crawl space. How could this be happening? He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected. Many people don't think about the effects moisture has as it rises from the ground under their homes. If left untreated, the moisture will cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage in the future. Our Fortress System Designers help educate customers on protecting their home by providing printed materials, using video media, through conversation, and of course, providing a free estimate for repair. Lawrence's crawl space needed SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The SilverGlo is installed on the walls and insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. It is moisture resistant and won't get moldy or break down. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. The SaniDry Sedona removes excess moisture, keeping the area dry and protecting the wood. Lawrence's home is his biggest asset. Why wouldn't he want to protect it with his custom solution from Fortress Foundation Solutions?
Rick H. of Marion, VA noticed deep cracks forming in the center of his patio making it uneven. Growing more concerned. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. A System Designer met with Rick and explained how our PolyLevel Injection Foam System could raise his patio - possibly to the original height. Ready to go ahead, the PolyLevel crew was soon on their way to his home. They were able to lift and level his patio three inches, back to its original height. Now Rick and his family can safely enjoy this outdoor space again!
