Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Crawl spaces can begin to smell very musty and funky if not taken care of. Our System Designer, Danny Camunas, created a system that would eliminate these smells from ever coming back for this new homeowner. Foreman, Adam Mills, and his crew installed a beautiful system that this homeowner is now proud to look at and know it will never smell again. 

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.

Sarah called Fortress Foundation Solutions to come out and provide a free inspection and estimate to encapsulate her home's crawl space. She had noticed musty smells in her home for a while but was unable to figure out why. She read online that moisture and humidity in crawl spaces could be the cause and decided to get it checked out.

Riley, one of our expert System Designers, went out to Sarah's property to perform an inspection and concluded that her crawl space was suffering from high humidity, moisture, and organic growth, all contributing to the musty smell she had been noticing. He presented these findings to Sarah, along with a proposal to fix the issues he had found. She was happy with our offerings and decided to move forward with the recommended work.

One of our crews was then scheduled to go out and do a full encapsulation of the crawl space. We utilized our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which starts off with our Delta Drainage Matting and is then covered by the CleanSpace barrier. Sarah also elected to install one of our Sedona Dehumidifiers to fully protect her crawl space from moisture and humidity.

Sarah reported that the musty smells have stopped and that she is so pleased to have her crawl space fully protected!

This client already had a sump pump installed in crawl space, but was looking to make his crawl space even drier with a vapor barrier, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, went out and gave him and estimate, which our client accepted, and shortly after, Charlie Evans and his crew went out and put down our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier all along the inside of the crawlspace. Our client loved the result and look of his clean, dry crawl space!

This client noticed a section of his broken concrete had become a tripping hazard, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions, who sent out our System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, to do a thorough inspection and give the client an estimate. After the client had agreed to the estimate, we sent out our Poly crew, Mickey Knight and Dominique "Dom" Wells, who injected our PolyLevel Foam underneath the concrete slab to level it, then sealed the cracks with our NexusPro Joint Sealant. Our customer was very happy with the result!
