Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In Mc Henry, a homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions to tackle the issue of sagging floors in their crawl space, as you can see in the before photo. The problem was affecting both safety and comfort in their home. We utilized our SmartJack System to resolve this challenge effectively. SmartJacks stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists, lifting the floors towards their original elevation seamlessly. With our expertly installed galvanized steel columns, the home's floors are now supported and secure, shown in the after photo, ensuring long-term stability and peace of mind.

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.

This crawl space in Lynchburg, VA was having issues with moisture and a musty smell. Fortress Foundation Solutions put down our Clean Space liner and we also installed a Sani Dry dehumidifier to control humidity levels. 

This home in Bedford,VA had a HUGE crawl space. The homeowners were looking to prevent any future issues from arising. They called the local experts for a free no obligation estimate.   

Our System Designer Ed Vest was able to go out to this home, his solution was to install our Smart Sump Sump pump, along with our CleanSpace vapor barrier and finally our Dehumidifier. This systemalivates any  water and moisture that may come into the crawl space. 

The crawl space of this home in Bedford was wet and moldy, and needed some help!

Fortress went to this home and installed a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with SilverGlo Wall Insulation, a SmartSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Our Mold X treatment was used to get rid of the mold. This homeowner now has a cleaner, brighter crawl space that will stay dry!
