Repairing failing floorboards in Roseland, VA

In Roseland, VA, homeowners purchased a home "as is" and, during renovations, contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free evaluation to ensure the crawl space was structurally sound before rebuilding the floors. Sumner, our System Designer, performed the inspection and discovered failing floor joists, a rotted main beam, high humidity, insulation scattered throughout the crawl space, gaps and cracks allowing outside air to enter, and overall poor conditions.

Sumner developed a comprehensive repair plan and walked the homeowners through each recommendation. After approving the proposal, our Foreman Pete and his crew completed the project over the course of about a week.

The completed solution included a full crawl space encapsulation, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, SilverGlo wall insulation, sill plate replacement, main beam replacement, and extensive joist sistering. Today, these homeowners have a safe, stable, and healthier crawl space - providing a strong foundation they can confidently continue building their home on.
