Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The crawl space of this home in Culpeper was wet and musty and needed some help!

This Culpeper, VA resident was having issues with water and moisture in the crawl space of this home. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, Our System Designer was able to go out to this home to provide a permanent solution. The System Designer Knew the best solution would be a total encapsulation. Our Foreman and his crew installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, SilverGlo Wall Insulation, and our SaniDry Dehumidifier. This encapsulation left the homeowners very happy and also with a piece of mind.  

Gerald T. 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. Gerald'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. Gerald's home is his biggest asset. Why wouldn't he want to protect it with his custom solution from Fortress Foundation Solutions?"

This Kenbridge, VA, homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions wanting a crawl space encapsulation. Due to their growing family they were looking for more storage space. Their crawl space was dark, damp, musty and the saturated insulation was falling down.

Foreman, Warren Dickerson and his crew were soon onsite installing drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep things dry. Now this crawl space is dry and the homeowner can enter the clean and bright area for loads of added storage space!
