Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Mathias, West Virginia, had a significant amount of standing water in their crawl space. They reached out directly to our System Designer, Adam, who conducted a thorough inspection.

Although Adam recommended a full crawl space encapsulation with SilverGlo™ insulation, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, drainage matting, and a dehumidifier to protect the home's long-term health, the homeowner's primary concern was addressing the standing water.

Adam designed a water management solution centered around a SuperSump Plus system. The sump pump was installed to collect the water and discharge it approximately 20 feet away from the home's foundation, helping keep the crawl space dry and prevent future water accumulation.

This client already had a sump pump installed in crawl space, but was looking to make his crawl space even drier with a vapor barrier, so he called Fortress Foundation Solutions. Our System Designer, Chris Wilmouth, went out and gave him and estimate, which our client accepted, and shortly after, Charlie Evans and his crew went out and put down our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier all along the inside of the crawlspace. Our client loved the result and look of his clean, dry crawl space!

John was dealing with excess humidity in the crawl space beneath his Fort Defiance home. The damp conditions were creating concerns about moisture, air quality, and the long-term health of the space.

Warren and his crew installed a complete CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System, including a CleanSpace vapor barrier, SilverGlo wall insulation, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. As shown in the after photo, the crawl space is now dry, sealed, and protected from moisture, helping create a cleaner, healthier environment beneath the home.

Erin was dealing with high humidity in the crawl space beneath her home in Waynesboro, Virginia, which had caused the floor joists to weaken and the floors above to begin sagging. Wanting a permanent solution, she contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for an inspection. Nate and his crew installed a complete crawl space encapsulation system featuring a CleanSpace vapor barrier, SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and a new EverLast crawl space door. To restore structural support, the team also installed 7 SmartJack floor supports along with a supplemental steel beam.

In Waynesboro, Lucille had been noticing ongoing moisture issues in her 1,500-square-foot crawl space. The area remained damp and unprotected, creating concerns about mold growth, poor air quality, and potential structural damage beneath the home. During our inspection, we found standing moisture and poor drainage contributing to the unhealthy conditions in the crawl space.

Warren and his crew installed a complete moisture control system to permanently protect the crawl space. An EZ Flow drainage system was added to collect and direct water away from the area, while a SuperSump® system was installed to efficiently remove any incoming water.

To fully seal the space, the crew installed a CleanSpace® vapor barrier throughout the crawl space to block out ground moisture and create a dry, controlled environment. SilverGlo™ insulation was also added along the walls to improve energy efficiency and help regulate temperatures year-round.

As shown in the after photos, the crawl space is now clean, dry, and fully protected. Lucille can now enjoy greater peace of mind knowing the space beneath her home is sealed, healthier, and built for long-term protection.
