Before & After Photos

A proud home owner in Buchanan, VA wanted to create a usable area in their crawl space. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions to do just that! System Designer Caleb Stone introduced them to our Crawl Space Encapsulation Process using a Clean Space Vapor Barrier System with Silver Glow Insulation on the walls and a Sani Dry Sedona Dehumidifier. Foreman Charlie Evans and his production crew did a great job installing the system in a timely manner to create a space that is available for them to use comfortably.    

This Thaxton homeowner had problems in both his basement and crawlspace. Both were exceptionally dirty and very moist. The crawlspace had begun to grow mold, so the homeowner decided it was definitely time to do something about his water issues. The homeowner asked if we could come in and fix his water drainage problems and reinsulated his basement and crawlspace in order to leave it clean, mold free, and much more energy efficient. Fortress Foundation Solutions had solutions for all of these proposed problems. First thing that had to be done was the removal of all debris and insulation from the basement and crawlspace. Naturally we removed the debris, but the insulation was also taken out because Fortress planned to install CleanSpace, which is a much better and more efficient way to insulate your crawlspace or basement (or both). CleanSpace was applied to the basement walls and the crawlspace. Drain matting was used in addition to the CleanSpace in the crawlspace to help eliminate the unwanted water that was causing the perfect environment for mold to grow in.

This homeowner located in Union Hall, VA needed to get rid of the water that kept entering their crawl space. There was mold starting to grow, causing the crawl space to have an odor that was unbearable. 

The Fortress Team went out to this customer's home so that we could install our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier and our SmartSump. Our SmartSump system is specifically designed for crawl spaces! This Sump Pump has an alarm to ensure you are always aware of any water in your crawl space.

The crawl space of this home in Union Hall was wet and musty, and needed some help!

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this crawl space and recommended that the best solution would be to install a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with a SmartSump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is designed to permanently prevent moisture and outside air from getting into your crawlspace. These products will work together to ensure that this homeowner now has a crawl space that stays clean and dry!

This customer's home was encapsulated by another company in 2017. In 2018, our customer purchased this home. Due to the poor installation of the previous company, they decided to have it re-encapsulated by us. This crawl space has multiple additions. The original foundation is made of flagstone. The addition on the home is cinderblocks. The crawl space was home to snakes and rodents. The house is also built on a hill, which created a very shallow opening between the ground and floor joists. 

Fortress Foundation Solutions removed the old, inefficient sump pump and vapor barrier, and then installed new drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, and a TripleSafe sump pump with battery backup and external discharge. We also used spray foam to insulate the flagstone, and we used insulation board for added insulation.
