Before & After Photos

A homeowner in McGaheysville, Virginia was dealing with a damp crawl space that was starting to affect the home’s structure, energy efficiency, and air quality.

We addressed the issue by fully encapsulating the crawl space with our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to seal out moisture. SilverGlo insulation was added to help regulate temperature and improve efficiency, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity levels in check.

The result, shown in the after photo, is a clean, dry crawl space that’s now a stable and healthier part of the home.

Before Fortress Foundation Solutions arrived in Faber, Virginia, this homeowner faced issues with mold, high humidity, and cold floors due to an unsealed crawl space. As you can see in the photo, these problems were visibly impactful. To address this, we installed our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system. In the after photo, you can see how CleanSpace® effectively transformed the area into a clean, dry environment. The innovative 20-mil liner now protects the space against moisture and mold, restoring both comfort and stability to the homeowner’s living environment.

This homeowner in Wardensville, Virginia was concerned about musty odors, high humidity, and soft, sagging floors in the home. After looking into the issue, it became clear the crawl space was the source of the problem. They reached out to our team and scheduled a FREE inspection. Our system designer evaluated the crawl space and found moisture intrusion, poor drainage, and weakened supports, then created a plan to address each issue.

The homeowner was happy with the proposal and decided to move forward. A few weeks later, our crew got to work installing an EZ Flow drainage system, CleanSpace vapor barrier, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and SmartJack supports. Now, the crawl space is dry, sealed, and structurally sound. The home now has cleaner air, stronger floors, and lasting peace of mind.

Timothy K. of Augusta, WV, contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing our yard sign while driving by. Unaware of any local crawl space repair services, Timothy sought help for his home's humidity and musty odor issues, which were deterring visitors. Upon System Designer Kurtis Toppert's evaluation, revealing standing water in his crawl space, Timothy promptly opted for a comprehensive encapsulation.

Service Technician Spencer Stottlemyer and his team swiftly tackled the challenge, leveling the soil and installing an exterior discharge line linked to our Super Safe Premier Sump Pump System, capable of pumping 2,220 gallons per hour. They then laid our drainage matting and Clean Space vapor barrier, offering a 25-year guarantee against damage.

Timothy expressed gratitude for the professionalism of the Fortress team. Now, a year later, his crawl space remains consistently dry and well-maintained.

Concerned by rising energy bills and a persistent chill, a family in Paw Paw, WV discovered that their existing crawl space insulation was no longer effective. After receiving a trusted referral, they reached out to our team for a comprehensive solution.

Our experts identified moisture intrusion through gaps in the crawl space as the root cause. We installed a CleanSpace vapor barrier and SilverGlo insulation panels to seal and insulate the area, significantly enhancing energy efficiency and indoor air quality. To maintain optimal humidity levels, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added—quietly ensuring dry, healthy air circulation throughout the home.

With their crawl space properly sealed and conditioned, the homeowners now enjoy a more comfortable living environment and reduced energy costs—proving that true home efficiency starts from the ground up.
