This homeowner in Blue Grass, Virginia, gave Fortress a call to see about getting their crawl space encapsulated. We sent out a system designer to preform an inspection and see what we could do for the customer. After his inspection, we found that the crawl space was suffering from high humidity, which could lead to mold, and wood rot down the line. We recommended a full encapsulation of the space and utilized our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier paired with a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifer.
This client was wanting to encapsulate his crawlspace, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions, who sent out our System Designer Chris Wilmouth. After taking a look around, Chris figured out the best solution and gave the homeowner a free estimate. Shortly after, Charlie Evans and his crew went out to finish the project. They took out all the old, torn up insulation and replaced it with our SilverGlow Insulation, and after laying down our Drainage Matting, they put our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on top to ensure that the crawlspace stays clean and dry. Our client was very satisfied with the results!
Mr. Harris was dealing with severe structural issues in the crawl space beneath his Buena Vista home. Years of high humidity had caused significant rot in the wooden floor joists, weakening the floor system and compromising the home's structural support.
Warren and his crew completed repairs, including sistering 30 damaged joists, replacing a 30-foot section of the main beam, and installing 3 SmartJack® supports for additional stabilization. As shown in the after photo, the crawl space is now properly reinforced, providing the home with the strength and support needed for long-term stability.
Jeffrey contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a crawl space inspection after learning about the damage excess moisture and humidity can cause beneath a home. During our inspection, we found conditions that could lead to long-term moisture-related issues if left unaddressed.
To protect the home from the ground up, Travis, Jack, and Mickey installed our CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System. As shown in the after photos, the crawl space is now sealed and protected from excess moisture and humidity, creating a healthier environment beneath the home and helping prevent future damage.
