Home Owner in Lexington Virginia called Fortress Foundation Solution in haste to get their Crawl Space waterproofed and encapsulated. System Designer, Brandon Conner, proposed our Triple Safe Sump Pump System. This will direct any water that was previously getting into the Crawl Space to the Sump Pump and than back outside. After the Sump Pump System is installed our Production Crew will complete the full Encapsulation Process. Encapsulating the Crawl Space will allow the home owners full access to the Crawl Space. 

The crawl space of this home in Lexington,VA was wet and musty, and really needed some help! 

After Fortress provided a free no obligate estimate, our Foreman, Brian Davis, and his crew went out and helped this homeowner by installing a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with our SilverGlo Wall Insulation, a SmartSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. All of these products will work together to keep this crawl space clean and dry!

This crawl space in Lexington was leaking and moldy. The dirt floor was covered in a thin layer of plastic that did not stop water and mud from getting in. Fortress solved these problems by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System to ensure that this crawl space will stay clean and dry!

The crawl space of this home in Lexington was damp and musty, and really needed some help! 

The homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions, and after scheduling a free estimate, had our System Designer come out and assess the crawl space. The System Designer determined that the best solution for this home would be to install a complete CleanSpace Encapsulation, along with SilverGlo Wall Insulation, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. These products will work together to keep moisture and humidity out of the crawl space, and will also help keep out cold air during the winter! This crawl space is now a much cleaner and brighter space!

The crawlspace that Fortress Foundation sales representative, Zach Bolluck, inspected in Natural Bridge Station, VA was a complete disaster. The floor of the crawlspace was either loose dirt or dirt covered with a thin plastic sheet. Plastic sheets used to cover the dirt ground in crawlspaces in never a permanent solution. To be honest, it really is not a temporary solution either. Along with unnecessary debris, this crawlspace was also covered with water. The drainage systems in place were ineffective; they did not capture or drain the water that was infiltrating the crawlspace. One of the major flaws of the existing drainage systems was the faulty sump pump. Without a properly working sump pump, a crawlspace is doomed to be moist, which may result in mold or wood rot (like in this home’s case). During this four day project, Fortress Foundation Solutions installed all of the proper equipment to encapsulate and waterproof the crawlspace. The first task Fortress always completes in any crawlspace is removing all debris. We like to have a clear space to work.
