Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Before tackling this challenging crawl space repair in Catawba, VA, the homeowner was grappling with sagging floors - a common yet distressing issue. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions to meet with a highly trained System Designer. The System Designer completed an inspection and a free estimate for Smart Jacks. Smart Jacks are adjustable floor supports installed under a main beam or a supplemental beam. They can stabilize and often provide lift. These Smart Jacks not only rectified the problem but restored the homeowner’s peace of mind. 

This homeowner in Stuart, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had water intrusion in their crawl space and floors in their home had started sagging down. 

After explaining all the issues they were having over the phone, we sent one of our System Designers out to take a look! He recommended our SmartJack Crawl Space Support System. This system provides solid support for undersized beams and restores stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space. We also installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to assure them that their crawl space would stay dry!

This home in Stuart, Virginia had water coming in through the basement wall. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a Clean Space Liner to seal off any future moisture. 

Fortress Foundation Solutions helps to prevent any future issues. This home owner had a crawlspace that wasn't causing any current issues, but they wanted to get ahead of any future problem that could arise! System Designer, Chris Guill, went to the property and provided the home owner with an option that would guarantee no water would ever get into the crawlspace in the future. We used our Clean Space Vapor Barrier System and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to accomplish this!  

A homeowner near Copper Hill, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after finding mold in their crawl space! The air from the crawl space does flow up and into the home - we call it the 'Stack Effect'. System Designer Caleb Stone, met with the homeowner and explained how air from your crawlspace enters your home along with everything in it - odors, and mold spores and dust mite feces. Air, often filled with more moisture, gets sucked into the crawlspace from the outdoors. In this sense, a poorly designed crawl space acts like a bad air machine! To stop the nasty cycle, this homeowner was ready to get an encapsulation. Foreman Travis Farmer and his crew, installed the SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace vapor barrier and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. These work together to keep the crawl space dry and the air humidity low. Now this crawl space is only sending clean, moisture controlled air up into the home.
