Murphy B. called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing water in his crawlspace after heavy rains. A System Designer met with Murphy, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The CleanSpace is in place to seal the home from the damp earth. Moisture and its damaging effects on the wood structure of the home are kept out. The final step is the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air keeping the crawl space dry. When Murphy looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!
This homeowner in Cedar Bluff reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions because the floors of their home had started to sag due to moisture issues in the crawl space. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, our System Designer, Paul Heckman was able to go out to provide a free estimate. Paul knew the best solution would be an encapsulation of the crawl space along with floor stabilization.
To resolve the moisture issue, Fortress installed a complete CleanSpace Encapsulation, a SmartSump Sump Pump, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. Our SmartJack System was installed to permanently lift and stabilize the existing beams and floor joists, lifting those sagging floors back to their original level! These products help to ensure a clean and dry crawl space with no more damage to the floor joists!
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?
