Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

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.

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.

This homeowner located in Penhook, VA contacted our Fortress team because he was interested in getting his crawl space encapsulated and also getting rid of that musty smell circulating throughout their crawl space. 

We had one of our Sytem Designers go out to the property to give a quote on our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System. This system made their crawl space into a cleaner, drier, healthier, and more energy-efficient space.

This dirty crawlspace in Moneta, VA needed some help! It was moldy and had standing water due to repeated flooding. Fortress solved these issues by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation, a SmartSump System, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to ensure the crawlspace would stay clean and dry.

Are open vents in your crawl space really the best for you and your home? Many construction professionals think so. Not Fortress Foundation Solutions! Open ventilation allows rain, water and moisture to get into crawl spaces - that's just what mold and mildew need to thrive. Jessica B. of Moneta, VA had rain pouring into her crawl space vents; her wet insulation was moldy and falling down. AJ Looney and his crew, arrived to help! They removed the ruined insulation, replaced it with Silverglo on the walls, drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier on the ground, sealing it off from varying environmental elements. A Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier was the final step to control the humidity, keeping the area dry. Now Jessica has a healthy, insulated home and usable storage space!
