Before & After Photos

This home’s large crawlspace caused numerous problems for its homeowner. The space was damp, moist, and extremely dirty. Insulation was hanging down from the ceiling. The entire space was dusty and dirty. And water stains were all over the concrete blocks causing efflorescence and mold to be found on the walls and ceiling. Water was clearly not exiting this crawlspace properly. Even though this space needed multiple installations, Fortress Foundation Solutions was able to get the job done! In this 5 day install, Fortress provided this homeowner with solutions to transform her crawlspace. First, Fortress removed all of the debris and insulation from the space. After the space was clear, we then covered the ground, columns, and walls with CleanSpace drain matting. An interior drainage system, EZ Flow, was installed to help remove the unwanted water which was settling in the crawlspace. Two exterior drainage solutions were provided, the IceGuard and Lawnscape; these products remove the water from the crawlspace and allow it to travel further from the home. This ensures that the water will not seep back into the crawlspace. All of this water was pumped out of the crawlspace via a SmartSump. A Sanidry XP was installed to counteract the high humidity level (which was causing the mold to grow). Lastly, Fortress sealed all of the crawlspace’s vents with CleanSpace and installed an Everlast crawlspace door.

This home was experiencing main level sagging floors, cracks in the walls, and floors separating from walls. There was also issues with water in the crawlspace, humidity and mold in the home. Upon inspection, we found falling insulation, rotting and moldy joists, and a basic, ineffective plastic sheet on the ground. Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry dehumidifer, a total CleanSpace encapsulation, replaced the rotting joists, and installed SmartJacks for a permanent water-free and structurally stable home.

This customer called Fortress due to issues with their crawl space. Tired of dealing with musty smells, high energy bills, and moisture issues, our System Designer, Eddie, went out and gave them a permanent solution. We did a full crawl space encapsulation, utilizing our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier system to seal out moisture, dirt, and air. Ensuring that this crawl space will stay clean and dry for years to come.

This home in Madison, VA was having some water intrusion issues in the crawl space of the home. The crawl space not only had water but it was there was also a lot of moisture. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, we were able to send our System Designer to provide a free estimate. The System Designer knew the best solution would be an encapsulation.

Our Forman and his crew were able to install the following products to ensure a moisture and water free crawl space. The crew installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier to protect the area from the outside elements. This clean Space also adds a very bright look to the area. We also installed out Smart Pipe and SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System to transfer water and pump it out. To help control the moisture in the crawl space the crew also installed our SaniDry Dehumidifier.   

This customer had Fortress out to preform a full encapsulation on their crawl space. We installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier paired with a TripleSafe Sump Pump, and Sedona Dehumidifier to keep their crawl space clean, dry, and protected.
