Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

In Great Cacapon, West Virginia, homeowner Gwynn reached out to Fortress because she was looking to sell her home but had a few major hold-ups -  including water intrusion, an exposed dirt crawl space, high humidity levels, and sagging floors, as seen in the before photo.

The buyers were not comfortable moving forward with the purchase until these issues were properly addressed, so the sellers called Fortress. Cara was the system designer assigned to evaluate the concerns brought up by the buyers. She carefully reviewed the addendum and proposed a solution based on the requested repairs.

As seen in the after photo, the crawl space is now properly sealed off from the earth with our CleanSpace encapsulation system, supported with a SmartJack support system, and protected with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help control moisture and humidity.

Debra was dealing with moisture coming from the crawl space beneath her Madison home. Excess humidity and damp conditions were affecting the home's environment and creating concerns about long-term moisture problems.

To permanently address the issue, our team installed a complete CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system, including EZ Flow drainage, a SuperSump® sump pump, CleanSpace® vapor barrier, SilverGlo™ insulation, and a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier. As shown in the after photos, the crawl space is now dry, sealed, and protected from future moisture intrusion.

This home owner called Fortress Foundation Solutions worried because there was a musty smell throughout their home. They called our Fortress team and we sent our System Designer, Sonny, out to take a look. Sonny inspected the property and discovered water getting into their crawl space. After Sonny was finished with his inspection, he determined that the best solution was to have our production team install our Crawl Space Encapsulation System along with our SmartSump Pump to remove the water permanently and give them peace of mind knowing their crawl space will always be dry.  

This customer was worried about the state of his crawl space, particularly about the water leaking in, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions to come give him a free estimate. We sent out our System Designer, Paul Heckman, who did a thorough inspection of his crawl space and designed a solution just for him. Soon after signing the contract, our Foreman, Travis Farmer, and his crew went out to complete the job. They installed our SmartPump Sump Pump system to keep the water out, as well as our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the air in the crawl space moisture-free. To finish the job, they installed our SilverGlo Insulation on the walls, as well as our Drainage Matting and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier on the ground to ensure the crawl space stays nice and dry. Our client was incredibly satisfied with the result!

Rebecca in Stephens City, Virginia has a full house. She’s lived there for 10 years with the intention of it being her forever home.

As seen in the before photo, her crawl space was not equipped for storage - it wasn’t even dry down there. Rebecca needed extra usable space in her home so she could empty out a spare room for her sister to move in. She called Fortress, and we sent out Cara, one of our system designers, to help.

Cara’s solution included addressing the groundwater seepage and fully encapsulating the crawl space. After doing her own research, Rebecca came to the same conclusion. Nick was the foreman on the job, and he executed the project seamlessly.

Now Rebecca has clean, usable storage space and can safely store her belongings in an area of the home she was already paying for anyway.
