Luke G. of Spencerville, MD, needed some work done on his crawl space. There were soft spots in his floors and he knew there was water in his crawl space damaging the joists. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Skylar Beverage, System Designer, was immediately able to see damage done by years of moisture and wetness - wood rot and mold! He offered Luke a same day proposal that was much less than a competitor and Luke agreed. Soon foreman, Warren Dickerson, was onsite installing a Smart Sump sump pump and drainage system to get rid of the water. Next, the SilverGlo insulation, Drainage Matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier sealed the crawl space. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity low. Now Luke doesn't have to worry about moisture causing future damage to his floors. Her crawl space is clean, dry and healthy!

This crawl space in Hampstead had many issues caused by water intrusion. The floors of the house were also warped. Not only were the walls stained, but there was also mold growing on them. This not only affects the crawl space, but also the air quality of the entire house. Mold is a big issue that can cause insomnia, heightened anxiety and depression, hair loss and many cold-like symptoms. Long-term exposure can even cause long term and sometimes permanent lung damage! Fortress believes in treating every homeowner like family and wants to make sure that our family is not becoming sick by and easily solved problem. Fortress went to this home and installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation, SilverGlow Wall Insulation, a full perimeter WaterGuard, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and SmartJack Supports.
