Before & After Photos

This crawlspace/basement in Greenville was dirty and water damaged from repeated flooding. Fortress solved these issues by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a TripleSafe Sump System. 

In the Fisher, WV home featured here, sagging floors were a major concern due to weakened crawl space supports. The before photo shows the unsettling dip often caused by compromised floor joists. To resolve this and ensure long-term stability, we employed our expert foundation repair products—the SmartJack® System and CleanSpace® encapsulation system. Notice in the after photo how the galvanized steel columns from the SmartJack® System effectively lifted the floors towards their original alignment. The CleanSpace® encapsulation ensures a dry, healthy crawl space, enhancing the overall foundation quality and safety of the home.

Diana T. was looking to invest in a local small business, but there was one problem. Water was coming into the crawl space during heavy rains. She called Fortress Foundation Solutions after hearing good things from a friend.

A System Designer met with Diana, inspected her 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. The final step is the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. It removes moisture from the air keeping the crawl space dry. Now, the crawl space is clean, dry and Diana knows it will keep this business safe.

This crawl space in Ringgold had water seeping up through the foundation when it rained. The floors of the house were also warped. The homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions to solve this problem. After assessing the home, Fortress determined that a full-perimeter WaterGuard, a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System, a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and SmartJack Supports were the best solution. The WaterGuard will catch any water coming in and channel it to the SmartSump where it will be pumped out of the crawl space. The SmartJackSupports straighten the floor of the home and add much needed support. This homeowner no longer has to worry about a wet crawl space or bowing floors again!

This crawl space in Lynchburg, VA was experiencing some standing water. The home owner was worried about the quality of the crawl space and the effects it would have on the home above it. Fortress insatalled our Clean Space vapor barrier to keep mositure out and we also put in a Smart Sump pump.
