Crawl Space Encapsulation - Clarksville VA

Wednesday, January 13th, 2021 by Janelle Joseph

Challenge

This crawlspace in Clarksville VA was experiencing water coming in after rainfall and was also giving off a musty smell. They also noticed the floors beginning to sag. The customer called into Fortress Foundation Solutions hoping to have their problems resolved.

Our System Designer Chris Wilmouth went out to this home to provide a free estimate. His solution was a complete crawl space encapsulation and he also recommended our Smart Jack system to correct the sagging floors in the home.

Solution

Our Foreman Brian Davis and his crew went out to the home to begin the encapsulation. They began by leveling the crawl space and putting down the vaper barrier to prevent any outside elements from getting into the crawl space. To keep out any moisture, they also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifer. Finally, they installed a Smart Sump pump to remove any water getting into the crawlspace.

This photo shows before any work was done by our crew.

In this photo, our crews laid down a drainage matting before installing the vapor barrier.

This picture is after the work was completed. It shows a clean, dry crawl space. It also shows the Smart Jack system that was put in to resolve the sagging floor issues.
