This customer was tired of their home suffering from sagging floors & decided to reach out to Fortress Foundation Solutions for an estimate. We sent out a system designer who did an inspection of the home and gave a proposal and quote to the homeowner. We utilized our SmartJack® crawl space support system for this project. The SmartJacks provide a solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.
Our client in Bumpass, VA, was dealing with sagging floors as well as moisture in her crawlspace. She called Fortress to ensure her home was taken care of from start to finish. System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, diagnosed the issues she was experiencing and created the perfect solution for her home. Foreman Travis Farmer and his crew installed a SmartJack system to deal with her sagging floors and then followed it up with CleanSpace to encapsulate and a SaniDry unit to keep the crawlspace dry and clean.
A homeowner in Hamilton, VA had easy access to their crawl space for storage. However, musty smells and overwhelming moisture limited items they could store. The falling down, moisture-saturated insulation was a big negative. System Designer Todd SImmons met with them, inspected the crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace keeps out moisture and the SilverGlo insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. Now this home is climate protected and has plenty of clean storage space!
In Burkittsville, a homeowner reached out to us to address their sagging floors, evident in the before photo. As floors weaken, they can compromise the integrity of your home. We installed our trusted SmartJack® system, which you can see visibly rectified the issue in the after photo. This system stabilized the crawl space beams, elevating the floors towards their original position. With steel columns and a reliable base, our solution secured the structure, enhanced support, and minimized any floor bounce. Notice the transformation and stability our professional expertise ensures.
Fortress Foundation Solutions installed drainage matting, CleanSpace Walls, FoamMax Insulation, a SaniDry Dehumidifier, and moved the existing sump to a better location.
