In Annandale, Virginia, a homeowner sought assistance from Fortress Foundation Solutions after receiving a recommendation regarding elevated moisture levels in their recently purchased property's dirt crawlspace. System designer Todd Simmons offered comprehensive insights during the consultation, emphasizing the modern approach of treating crawl spaces as integral components of home structure rather than external areas.
Todd explained the necessity of separating the earth from the home and protecting it against environmental factors. Impressed by Todd's expertise, the homeowner chose Fortress Foundation Solutions for a comprehensive solution.
Our team prioritized ensuring a consistently dry crawl space through meticulous planning. This involved digging trenches and connecting them to our Triple Safe Sump System, renowned for its reliability and resilience with three pumps and a backup generator, effectively addressing water infiltration concerns.
Additionally, we installed drainage matting followed by over 100 feet of our proprietary CleanSpace encapsulation system. This multi-layered solution, engineered for durability, effectively isolates the crawl space from external elements, fortifying the home against moisture intrusion and enhancing its structural integrity.
This home owner called our office to see if we could help preserve "the bones" of their 1875 Victorian farmhouse. Our expert system designer, Skylar, was sent to do a complete and free evaluation.
