Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Daniel J. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering standing water and moisture beginning to damage his wooden floor joists. Moisture-saturated insulation was also falling down in his crawl space. How could this be happening? He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected. Many people don't think about the effects moisture has as it rises from the ground under their homes. If left untreated, the moisture will cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage in the future. Our Fortress System Designers help educate customers on protecting their home by providing printed materials, using video media, through conversation, and of course, providing a free estimate for repair. Daniel's crawl space needed EZ Flow drainage, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. EZ Flow directs groundwater to the Smart Sump, which pumps the water outside the home. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. The SaniDry Sedona removes excess moisture, keeping the area dry and protecting the wood. Daniel's home is his biggest asset. Why wouldn't he want to protect it with his custom solution from Fortress Foundation Solutions?

Steve N. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering mold and mildew on the woodwork, bugs and spider webs, falling down, moisture-saturated insulation, and stinky, musty smells. He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected.

Steve's crawl space needed drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, and a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. The SilverGlo is installed on the walls and insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. The Smart Sump pumps excess water outside the home. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. When Steve looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!

The homeowner in Clear Brook reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions because they wanted their crawl space encapsulated.

Fortress installed a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with SilverGlo Wall Insulation. This homeowner now has a much cleaner, and brighter, crawl space!

Jennifer T. of White Post, VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after moving in to an older family home previously used for weekend gatherings. Planning to remodel the home, she wanted to make sure the floor structure was solid before beginning the cosmetics. Jennifer met with system designer, Sonny Kingsbury. After entering the crawl space, Sonny was immediately able to see damage done by years of moisture and wetness - wood rot and mold! He offered Jennifer a same day proposal that was much less than a competitor and Jennifer 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 Jennifer doesn't have to worry about moisture causing future damage to her floors. Her crawl space is clean, dry and healthy!

This crawlspace in White Post was dirty and moldy. Water kept leaking in and the owners could not figure out how to stop it. Fortress came to the rescue and installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a SaniDry Sedona. Now this crawlspace will stay clean and dry.
