Steve N. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering mold and mildew on the woodwork, bugs and spider webs, falling down, moisture-saturated insulation, and stinky, musty smells. He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected.
Our Fortress System Designers help educate customers on protecting their home by providing printed materials, using video media, through conversation, and of course, providing a free estimate for repair. Steve's crawl space needed drainage matting, SilverGlo insulation, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, and a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier. The SilverGlo is installed on the walls and insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. The Smart Sump pumps excess water outside the home. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. When Steve looks into his crawl space now, it is clean, dry and he knows his home is protected!
This customer came to Fortress Foundation with a moldy and muddy crawlspace from repeated flooding. Fortress addressed these issues bu installing a CleanSpace encapsulation with a SmartSump System so the basement will never flood again. Another issue faced by this customer was there rotting crawl space door, so Fortress installed am EverLast Crawl Space Door to make sure the door would never rot again.
This home was built in the late 1980's. It was experiencing sagging floors which resulted in cracking walls and other internal issues. We totally stabilized and corrected the problem with supplemental support in the form of Smart Jacks in the crawl space. Everything is nice and level now!
This home in Crozet had a crawl space that was damp and dirty and needed some help!
Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to this assess this crawl space and recommended that the best solution would be to install a complete CleanSpace encapsulation and SilverGlo Wall insulation.
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 crawl space will remain clean and dry!
The basement of this Crozet home had water seeping in with rain, so the homeowner reached out to Fortress to get this problem solved.
Fortress was able to solve this water intrusion problem by installing our WaterGuard System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a TripleSafe sump pump. These products will continuously work together to keep this basement dry!
