Sunset River Rd, Ceres, VA, Crawl Space Encapsulation

This home had severe moisture and mold build up in the crawlspace. Our crew was able to remove the mold and fully encapsulate the crawlspace with our CleanSpace system. To ensure the space stays dry and remove the risk of future mold growth, sealing the crawl space off to the outside elements is key. Adding a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier is the last step to remove any moisture in the crawlspace eliminating the chance for future mold or mildew growth.

This dirty and moldy crawl space in Rural Retreat really needed some help. The insulation was soaked and falling down and standing water was everywhere. Fortress solved these issues by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a SmartSump System and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. Now the crawl space is clean, dry, and mold free!

Rural Retreat, VA Crawl Space Encapsulation

This large crawl space in Rural Retreat had many issues caused by water intrusion. Not only were the walls stained, but there was also mold growing on them. This not only affects the crawl space, but the air quality of the entire house. Mold is related to issues like insomnia, heightened anxiety and depression, hair loss and many cold-like symptoms. Long-term exposure has been linked to permanent lung damage! Fortress believes in treating every homeowner like family and wants to make sure that our family and community have healthy homes. Our crew was able to install full perimeter WaterGuard leading to a SuperSump Plus Premier Sump Pump, bright white CleanSpace on the walls making sure they are sealed, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the air dry. This family can rest assured that their crawl space is clean, dry, and mold free!

In the before photo, notice the significant moisture issues in this humid crawl space, a common concern for homeowners in Ivanhoe, VA. This unchecked moisture can lead to mold, wood rot, and structural problems. By installing the CleanSpace encapsulation system and the SmartJack system, we effectively transformed the crawl space into a dry and stable foundation. The CleanSpace barrier prevents moisture intrusion, while SmartJack stabilizes and supports the floor joists. This comprehensive solution not only protects the home's integrity but also enhances indoor air quality and energy efficiency.

 

Crawl Space Waterproofing near Austinville, VA

Greg W. had taken a look in his crawl space to see about some plumbing repairs and noticed evidence of moisture along the walls. Having only owned the home for a few years, he was unsure of the severity of the moisture intrusion. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate. A System Designer met with Greg, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite installing drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The CleanSpace is in place to seal the home from the damp earth. Moisture and its damaging effects on the wood structure of the home are kept out. The final step is the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air keeping the crawl space dry. When Greg looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!
