Before & After Photos

Before our intervention, this Virginia crawl space showed significant mold and excess moisture issues, reflecting a common but serious problem for homeowners. Upon inspection, we recognized the need for our CleanSpace and SaniDry Sedona systems to address the climate in the space. By installing CleanSpace, we provided a strong, long-lasting barrier against moisture and mold. Coupled with the efficiency of the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which efficiently controlled humidity, the after photo confirms a now clean, dry, and healthier environment demonstrating the high standards in crawl space repair offered by Fortress Foundation Solutions.

This customer came to us with concerns about their flooding crawlspace that was damp and cold. To keep the heat in the house from escaping though the crawlspace, Fortress foundation solutions installed SilverGlow insulation. Then, Fortress installed a drainage mat and a CleanSpace liner to waterproof the crawl space and address the damp and musty issues the customer was facing. Fortress also installed a SaniDry Sedona to ensure the crawl space would always be dry.

Sarah called Fortress Foundation Solutions to come out and provide a free inspection and estimate to encapsulate her home's crawl space. She had noticed musty smells in her home for a while but was unable to figure out why. She read online that moisture and humidity in crawl spaces could be the cause and decided to get it checked out.

Riley, one of our expert System Designers, went out to Sarah's property to perform an inspection and concluded that her crawl space was suffering from high humidity, moisture, and organic growth, all contributing to the musty smell she had been noticing. He presented these findings to Sarah, along with a proposal to fix the issues he had found. She was happy with our offerings and decided to move forward with the recommended work.

One of our crews was then scheduled to go out and do a full encapsulation of the crawl space. We utilized our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System, which starts off with our Delta Drainage Matting and is then covered by the CleanSpace barrier. Sarah also elected to install one of our Sedona Dehumidifiers to fully protect her crawl space from moisture and humidity.

Sarah reported that the musty smells have stopped and that she is so pleased to have her crawl space fully protected!

Genevieve’s crawl space in Ridgeway, Virginia was dealing with excess moisture, as shown in the before photo. The damp conditions created a real risk for mold growth and made the space less efficient overall.

To fix the problem, we encapsulated the crawl space with our CleanSpace system to seal out moisture and create a cleaner, more controlled environment. We also installed SilverGlo insulation to help with temperature regulation and added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep humidity levels in check.

The after photo shows the difference—a dry, well-protected crawl space that’s healthier and more energy efficient.

Homeowners in Wirtz, Virginia were dealing with excessive humidity in their crawl space due to the lack of a proper vapor barrier. Concerned about the moisture and its long term effects, they contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free inspection.

Troy, one of our experienced System Designers, performed a comprehensive evaluation and confirmed elevated moisture levels throughout the crawl space. He recommended a complete encapsulation solution, including 1,624 square feet of CleanSpace® vapor barrier, 172 linear feet of rim joist insulation, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control humidity and create a healthier, drier environment.

The homeowners agreed with the proposed solution, and Pete and his crew got to work transforming the crawl space into a clean, protected, and moisture-controlled space.
