This crawlspace had major moisture issues. The homeowner approached Fortress Foundation Solutions because they were interested in keeping their crawlspace dry. The homeowners stated that he could not see any mold at the current time, but he did not want to risk the fact that mold could potentially grow in his crawlspace. Not only was his crawlspace damp, but it was also extremely dirty. The sump pump in the crawlspace was not very efficient and the crawlspace definitely needed a dehumidifier. Fortress began their work by removing all of the crawlspace’s debris. Next, we installed CleanSpace drain matting. Not only did Fortress cover the walls of the crawlspace, but we even wrapped the crawlspace’s columns. Fortress then replaced the crawlspace’s sump pump with a Smart Sump System (better quality pump) and installed a Sanidry XP (dehumidifier) to remove the unwanted water from the crawlspace air. This water exited the crawlspace by pump discharge units and LawnScape (which directs the water away from the house). Along with these other installations, Fortress also sealed of the crawlspace’s vents. Closing the vents of your crawlspace is one of the best improvements you can make to create a cleaner and more energy efficient space. The last thing that Fortress installed was an Everlast crawlspace door. This crawlspace is now moisture free and completely inhabitable to mold.
This homeowner near Goochland, VA, reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions when the water entering her basement became increasingly problematic. A System Designer met with her, explained the solution Fortress could provide, and offered her a free estimate. Eager to reclaim the use of her basement, she agreed. Shortly after, a Fortress crew was on-site installing a WaterGuard drainage system and a SuperSump Sump Pump. Now, any water entering the home is drained to the Super Sump and pumped out. Now this homeowner does not have to wonder if her basement will be dry!
Contractor Dan F. noticed moisture in the crawlspace of the house he was working on. He knew just who to call to fix the moldy, musty crawlspace. A Fortress Foundation Solutions System Designer met with Dan, inspected the crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace keeps out moisture and the SilverGlo insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. Now, when this homeowner looks into his crawl space, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!
This crawlspace in Bracey had a dirt floor and a flooding issue. The insulation was wet and falling down because of how much moisture was trapped in this crawlspace. Fortress solved these issues by encapsulating the crawlspace with a CleanSpace liner and installing a SmartSump. Now this crawlspace will not flood anymore!
Tina C. of Bracey, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions about her damp crawl space - a perfect environment for spider to live! Tina wanted an encapsulation so the moisture would be sealed off and not cause any more damage to the wood joists. Eddie Salido, system designer, was happy to come out and provide a free inspection with an estimate. Warren Dickerson and his crew were soon onsite installing SilverGlo insulation, drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier followed by a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier. Now Tina's crawl space is clean and dry!
