Before & After Photos

Steve N. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering mold and mildew on the woodwork, bugs and spider webs, falling down, moisture-saturated insulation, and stinky, musty smells. He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected.

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. Steve's crawl space needed drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, and a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. The SilverGlo is installed on the walls and insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. The Smart Sump pumps excess water outside the home. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. When Steve looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!

The homeowner in Clear Brook reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions because they wanted their crawl space encapsulated.

Fortress installed a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with SilverGlo Wall Insulation. This homeowner now has a much cleaner, and brighter, crawl space!

This crawlspace in White Post was dirty and moldy. Water kept leaking in and the owners could not figure out how to stop it. Fortress came to the rescue and installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a SaniDry Sedona. Now this crawlspace will stay clean and dry.

Jennifer T. of White Post, VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after moving in to an older family home previously used for weekend gatherings. Planning to remodel the home, she wanted to make sure the floor structure was solid before beginning the cosmetics. Jennifer met with system designer, Sonny Kingsbury. After entering the crawl space, Sonny was immediately able to see damage done by years of moisture and wetness - wood rot and mold! He offered Jennifer a same day proposal that was much less than a competitor and Jennifer agreed. Soon foreman, Warren Dickerson, was onsite installing a Smart Sump sump pump and drainage system to get rid of the water. Next, the SilverGlo insulation, Drainage Matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier sealed the crawl space. Finally, the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity low. Now Jennifer doesn't have to worry about moisture causing future damage to her floors. Her crawl space is clean, dry and healthy!

A homeowner near Brightwood, VA, noticed soft spots in the floor of the kitchen. They had recently remodeled it, replacing the original, outdated kitchen from the 80's. As concerns grew, they decided to call Fortress Foundation Solutions. A System Designer completed a free inspection of the home and noticed some issues with the crawl space. The new, all wood cabinets with heavy stone countertops put extra weight on the main beam. Moisture inside the crawl space contributed to weakening the wood and a crack was now apparent. This home needed SmartJacks. SmartJacks are adjustable, steel columns can be added under a main beam or in combination with a supplemental beam. They provide support and stability to the entire home. This repairs crooked and sinking floors, creating a level surface, adding extra support. Fortress fixed their sagging floors and now these homeowners have their dream kitchen with no more worries.
