Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

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.

David H. noticed cracking on several of their basement walls. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, setting an appointment, and receiving an inspection and recommendation from one of our system designers, David chose to accept our proposal to fix their foundation issues for good! We turned to our PowerBrace system to stabilize their walls against further bowing. PowerBraces are a great option for stabilizing walls and we're so glad that we were able to utilize them for our clients!

Your Crawl Space should be an accessible area to your home! Fortress Foundation Solutions was able to make that possible at this home in Charlottesville, Virginia by fully Encapsulating the Crawl Space. We started by using our Water Drainage Matting to keep any water that may come up from the ground out of the crawl space. Next, we installed our Clean Space Vapor Barrier System and SilverGlo Insulation to keep dirt and critters from getting into the crawl space. Lastly, our Production Crew installed our Triple Safe Sump Pump System to redirect any water getting in through the walls back outside, and the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This Crawl Space Encapsulation Process allows a clean and dry environment for these homeowners. 

This client was worried about moisture in her crawls pace, so she called Fortress Foundation Solutions, who sent Paul Heckman to her house. Paul did a thorough inspection of her crawl space, and gave her an estimate. A few days later, our Foreman, Charlie Evans, went out with his crew and installed our SilverGlo Insulation on the walls of the crawl space, our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier in the corner, and our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the floors and walls. Our client was so grateful for her clean, dry crawl space!

Observe the transformation we achieved on a block foundation in Great Cacapon, WV. The homeowner faced stair-step cracks and a severe 2-inch wall deflection, posing potential risks to the structural integrity of the home. To address these concerns, we expertly installed the PowerBrace™ System. These zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fitted and securely anchored, effectively stabilizing the foundation walls. As showcased in the after photo, this method not only halted further inward wall movement but also promised potential improvement over time, ensuring a stable, safe, and healthy home environment.
