Before & After Photos

In Mc Henry, a homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions to tackle the issue of sagging floors in their crawl space, as you can see in the before photo. The problem was affecting both safety and comfort in their home. We utilized our SmartJack System to resolve this challenge effectively. SmartJacks stabilize crawl space beams and floor joists, lifting the floors towards their original elevation seamlessly. With our expertly installed galvanized steel columns, the home's floors are now supported and secure, shown in the after photo, ensuring long-term stability and peace of mind.

The crawlspace that Fortress Foundation sales representative, Zach Bolluck, inspected in Natural Bridge Station, VA was a complete disaster. The floor of the crawlspace was either loose dirt or dirt covered with a thin plastic sheet. Plastic sheets used to cover the dirt ground in crawlspaces in never a permanent solution. To be honest, it really is not a temporary solution either. Along with unnecessary debris, this crawlspace was also covered with water. The drainage systems in place were ineffective; they did not capture or drain the water that was infiltrating the crawlspace. One of the major flaws of the existing drainage systems was the faulty sump pump. Without a properly working sump pump, a crawlspace is doomed to be moist, which may result in mold or wood rot (like in this home’s case). During this four day project, Fortress Foundation Solutions installed all of the proper equipment to encapsulate and waterproof the crawlspace. The first task Fortress always completes in any crawlspace is removing all debris. We like to have a clear space to work.

This homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions concerned about their crawl space. They noticed that each time there was a heavy rain, their crawl space would flood, causing an awful musty smell!

Fortress was quickly able to assess the issues in their crawl space and provide them with a permanent solution!

Our professional production team installed our patented CleanSpace encapsulation system along with our SmartSump. Our SmartSump is specifically designed for crawl spaces and can provide all the protection you need from leaks and floods.

This homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had been receiving water in their crawl space. Fortress came up with a permanent solution to stop their crawl space from receiving water. We installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier along with our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System. This sump pup is the ideal option for crawl spaces. This sump pump is designed to fit with the CleanSpace liner and has a sump alarm to ensure you are always aware of any water in your crawl space.

This homeowner in Bedford had a crawl space that was damp and musty. They reached out to Fortress for a solution to their problem.

Our System Designer, Paul Heckman, went out to assess this crawl space and recommended that the best solution would be to install a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is designed to permanently prevent moisture and outside air from getting into the crawlspace. This homeowner now has a crawl space that is clean and dry!
