Before & After Photos

Discovering an unpleasant smell and fearing mold in their newly added crawl space, a homeowner in New Midway, MD reached out to us for help. The before photo visibly showcases their concern, revealing an open window intended for air flow but instead inviting problems. Our solution, as seen in the after photo, transformed their space using SilverGlo and CleanSpace. These installations not only eradicated the dreadful odor but also secure against potential mold, offering a long-lasting and reliable solution that aligns with our mission of enhancing homes to be stable, safe and healthy.

At a recent home show in Libertytown, MD, a homeowner shared concerns about sagging floors, launching us into action. As you can see in the before photo, their crawl space was in desperate need of care. Our team swept in with CleanSpace to seal and protect the area, SilverGlo insulation to keep temperatures steady, SaniDry Sedona for powerful dehumidification, and SmartJack for strong, secure floor support. The transformation, evident in the after photo, underscores our dedication to bringing peace of mind and reliability back into our customers' homes.

Brian, a homeowner in Vienna, VA, took one look into his crawl space and knew he needed to call a professional. He saw mold, smelled musty odors caused by excess moisture, and noticed his floor joists were beginning to crumble when touched.

After a quick Google search, he found Fortress Foundation Solutions and scheduled a free inspection online. Matt, one of our experienced System Designers, confirmed high moisture levels, organic growth, and deteriorating floor joists caused by prolonged moisture exposure.

To permanently address the problem, Matt recommended a complete crawl space encapsulation system, including SilverGlo® insulation, a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a SaniDry Sedona® dehumidifier, and supplemental beams with SmartJacks® to stabilize the floors by transferring the home's weight from weakened wood to durable steel supports.

Nick and his crew completed the installation, giving Brian cleaner air throughout his home, a dry and usable crawl space for storage, and a stable foundation he can rely on for years to come.

Cliff and Megan in Vienna, Virginia started noticing higher humidity in their home along with a light musty smell that wouldn’t go away. After some heavy rains, they suspected moisture might be building up in the crawl space and reached out to our team to schedule a FREE inspection. Our system designer evaluated the space and found ground moisture, poor drainage, and no proper barrier to protect the home from humidity.

After reviewing the proposal, Cliff and Megan decided to move forward with the work. Our crew installed an EZ Flow drainage system to direct water out of the crawl space, along with a SuperSump system to safely discharge any incoming water. We then sealed the area with a CleanSpace vapor barrier and added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to control humidity.

Now, the crawl space is dry and sealed. Cliff and Megan can enjoy lower humidity, no musty odors, and a more comfortable living space.
