Crawl space repair in Lignum, VA
Challenge
For years, a homeowner’s crawl space had been quietly deteriorating due to moisture and mold. The problem came to light in a dramatic way—when the kitchen floor began to sink, separating from the wall. Concerned about the structural integrity of their home, the family knew they needed immediate professional help to prevent further damage.
Solution
After seeing a billboard for Fortress Foundation Solutions, the homeowner decided to reach out. From the very first consultation with Danny, the experience was built on trust and transparency. Danny listened carefully, conducted a thorough inspection, and explained exactly what needed to be done—complete with photos and a phased plan. The family appreciated that there was no pressure, just clear communication and respect for their decision-making process.
The project was completed in three phases:
-
Clean-Out: Mauricio’s team tackled the tough initial job of clearing the crawl space, setting the foundation for the work to come.
-
Structural Repairs: Jeff’s crew replaced two main beams and numerous floor joists, strengthening the home’s structure and restoring stability to the floors.
-
Encapsulation & Protection: Travis’s team insulated and encapsulated the crawl space, installed a dehumidifier, and ensured sump pumps and wiring were in top condition—leaving the space looking brand new.
When a minor sump pump pipe issue appeared a few weeks later, Fortress Foundation Solutions quickly sent Derrick to fix it—showing their commitment to ongoing support and customer care.
Result
The transformation was remarkable. The once-damaged crawl space is now clean, dry, structurally sound, and fully protected against future issues. Most importantly, the homeowners gained peace of mind knowing their home is safe and secure.
