This homeowner located in Union Hall, VA needed to get rid of the water that kept entering their crawl space. There was mold starting to grow, causing the crawl space to have an odor that was unbearable.
The Fortress Team went out to this customer's home so that we could install our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and our SmartSump. Our SmartSump system is specifically designed for crawl spaces! This Sump Pump has an alarm to ensure you are always aware of any water in your crawl space.
The crawl space of this home in Union Hall was wet and musty, and needed some help!
Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this crawl space and recommended that the best solution would be to install a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with a SmartSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.
Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is designed to permanently prevent moisture and outside air from getting into your crawlspace. These products will work together to ensure that this homeowner now has a crawl space that stays clean and dry!
This home in Union Hall had a basement with water intrusion issues. The homeowner reached out to us at Fortress to see what we could be do to solve this issue.
We sent our System Designer, Chris Guill, out to evaluate this home and determined that the best solution would be to install our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a SuperSump sump pump.
Our WaterGuard System is designed to capture any wall or floor seepage before it reaches the basement floor, any water will then drain to the SuperSump and be pumped out of the home. This homeowner can now rest assured knowing their basement will be staying dry, even during the worst of storms!
This homeowner in Union Hall, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions to provide a solution for the sinking driveway at the residence. Our System Designer provided an estimate for our Concrete Lifting and leveling using the PolyLevel Injection System. Our Foreman and his crew went out to this home and began repairing this issue. The crew began by power washing the area. Next, they drilled small holes and injected our polyurethane foam. This foam helps to raise the effected area. Once the area is back to level, the crew then used our NexusPro Crack Repair to help fill in any cracks or imperfections.
This customer's home was encapsulated by another company in 2017. In 2018, our customer purchased this home. Due to the poor installation of the previous company, they decided to have it re-encapsulated by us. This crawl space has multiple additions. The original foundation is made of flagstone. The addition on the home is cinderblocks. The crawl space was home to snakes and rodents. The house is also built on a hill, which created a very shallow opening between the ground and floor joists.
Fortress Foundation Solutions removed the old, inefficient sump pump and vapor barrier, and then installed new drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, and a TripleSafe sump pump with battery backup and external discharge. We also used spray foam to insulate the flagstone, and we used insulation board for added insulation.
