Before & After Photos

This house in Palmyra had many issues caused by water intrusion. Not only were the floors bowing, but there was also mold growing in the crawl space insulation. This not only affects the crawl space, but also the air quality of the entire house. Mold is a big issue that can cause insomnia, heightened anxiety and depression, hair loss and many cold-like symptoms. Long-term exposure can even cause long term and sometimes permanent lung damage! Fortress believes in treating every homeowner like family and wants to make sure that our family is not becoming sick by and easily solved problem. Fortress went to this home and installed SmartJacks, a CleanSpace Encapsulation, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This family can rest assured that their crawl space is clean, dry, and mold free!

When Wendell C. of Palmyra, VA, went into his crawl space, he found a pond had formed! Knowing this was NOT good for any home, he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. System Designer, Caleb Stone, met with Wendell, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate. Ready to be rid of the water, Wendell agreed. Soon foreman Warren Dickerson was onsite installing EZFlow pipe that drains all water to the Triple Safe sump pump where it is pumped away from the house. The CleanSpace vapor barrier seals off the ground from the home and the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier removes moisture from the air. Now Wendell's crawl space is dry, clean and his home is protected!

This homeowner in Troy, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about the crawl space under the home. The crawl space was holding heavy moisture and mold. Our System Designer was able to visit the homeowners and provide an estimate for a solution. The System Designer recommended an encapsulation of the crawl space. Chris knew our Clean Space Vapor Barrier, SliverGlo Insulation and SaniDry Dehumidifier would elevate all issues in the crawl space for years to come!  

When one of Fortress' foundation specialists visited this home he came across many issues. One of the most noticeable issues discovered was the damaged insulation and debris covering the crawl space. Other problems in this crawl space had to do with structural complications and a lack of proper waterproofing. Fortress Foundation Solutions was able to resolve these issues to leave the customer happy with a clean and safe crawl space. One of the first steps the crew made was to remove the malfunctioning insulation. Along with stripping the insulation, they also removed all the crawl space debris. To keep debris from returning, the crew also sealed all vents in the crawl space. After stabilizing the crawl space, drain matting was installed leaving the once nasty crawl space looking spotless!

Daniel J. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering standing water and moisture beginning to damage his wooden floor joists. Moisture-saturated insulation was also falling down in his crawl space. How could this be happening? He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected. Many people don't think about the effects moisture has as it rises from the ground under their homes. If left untreated, the moisture will cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage in the future. Our Fortress System Designers help educate customers on protecting their home by providing printed materials, using video media, through conversation, and of course, providing a free estimate for repair. Daniel's crawl space needed EZ Flow drainage, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. EZ Flow directs groundwater to the Smart Sump, which pumps the water outside the home. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. The SaniDry Sedona removes excess moisture, keeping the area dry and protecting the wood. Daniel's home is his biggest asset. Why wouldn't he want to protect it with his custom solution from Fortress Foundation Solutions?
