Before & After Photos

This Kenbridge, VA, homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions wanting a crawl space encapsulation. Due to their growing family they were looking for more storage space. Their crawl space was dark, damp, musty and the saturated insulation was falling down. System designer, Chris Wilmouth, was happy to meet with them, explain the encapsulation products and provide a free, same-day estimate. Ready to move forward, they agreed. Foreman, Warren Dickerson and his crew were soon onsite installing drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep things dry. Now this crawl space is dry and the homeowner can enter the clean and bright area for loads of added storage space!

Jim E. of Jessup, MD, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing musty smells coming from his crawl space. After investigating, he discovered pooling water and falling down, moisture-saturated insulation. System Designer Riley Ethier met with Jim, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an EZ FLow Drainage System, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. After speaking with Riley, Jim learned that the air in the crawl space flows upward into the home. He didn't want that musty, moldy air getting into his home and decided to move forward.

Soon foreman Ethan and his crew were onsite. They began by removing the old falling-down insulation. Next, they installed the EZFlow drainage that channels all water into the Super Sump Sump Pump. For insulation, SilverGlo was put up on the walls. Drainage matting and CleanSpace Vapor Barrier were put down sealing off the ground from the home, reducing moisture. The final step, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was added. It removes excess moisture from the air keeping mold, mildew and wood rot from forming. Now Jim knows the air flowing into his home is clean and healthy and his home is protected!

This home in Clarksville had a crawl space that was wet and musty, and needed some help. The floors of the home also needed some extra support.

Our System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, went out to assess this home and recommended installing a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with a SmartSump sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and Smart Jacks to better support the floors.

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, and no longer has to worry about sagging floors!

This crawlspace in Clarksville was leaking and moldy and the insulation was falling down due to the high moisture levels.  The dirt floor was covered in a thin layer of plastic that did not stop water and mud from getting in. Fortress solved these problems by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System to ensure that this crawlspace will stay clean and dry!

This home in Richmond had a crawl space that was damp and musty, so the homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to get those issues resolved before they caused a bigger problem.

Fortress went out to this home and installed a complete CleanSpace Encapsulation, along with SilverGlo Wall Insulation and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. These products will work together to reduce moisture and humidity in the crawl space. They will also help seal out cold drafts in the winter. The crawl space is now a much cleaner and brighter area!
