Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

The crawlspace that Fortress Foundation sales representative, Zach Bolluck, inspected in Natural Bridge Station, VA was a complete disaster. The floor of the crawlspace was either loose dirt or dirt covered with a thin plastic sheet. Plastic sheets used to cover the dirt ground in crawlspaces in never a permanent solution. To be honest, it really is not a temporary solution either. Along with unnecessary debris, this crawlspace was also covered with water. The drainage systems in place were ineffective; they did not capture or drain the water that was infiltrating the crawlspace. One of the major flaws of the existing drainage systems was the faulty sump pump. Without a properly working sump pump, a crawlspace is doomed to be moist, which may result in mold or wood rot (like in this home’s case). During this four day project, Fortress Foundation Solutions installed all of the proper equipment to encapsulate and waterproof the crawlspace. The first task Fortress always completes in any crawlspace is removing all debris. We like to have a clear space to work.

The walls on this basement were bowing and cracking. To stop this problem Fortress installed nine Carbon Armor straps, eight Power Braces, and six GeoLock Anchors. The foundation is now stabilized and will never have issues again.

This crawlspace was dirty and leaking. Mold was growing and causing a fowl smell. Fortress installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation to solve all of these problems. Now the space is clean and dry!

The crawl space of this home in Fort Defiance stayed damp and musty. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution for this problem.

Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess this home and recommended that the best solution would be to install a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is designed to permanently prevent moisture and outside air from getting into your crawlspace. Together, the vapor barrier and SaniDry will ensure that this crawlspace will stay clean and dry!

This crawlspace in Woodstock was dirty and moldy. The insulation was falling down and the ground was muddy. Fortress installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation and a SmartSump System to keep this crawlspace clean and dry.
