Photo Album: Penhook, VA Crawlspace Encapsulation and Waterproofing

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.
