Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Lawrence T. reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after discovering standing water and moisture beginning to damage his wooden floor joists. Moisture-saturated insulation was also falling down in his crawl space. How could this be happening? He had laid down plastic over the ground and thought his crawl space would be protected. Many people don't think about the effects moisture has as it rises from the ground under their homes. If left untreated, the moisture will cause thousands of dollars' worth of damage in the future. 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. Lawrence's crawl space needed SilverGlo insulation, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. The SilverGlo is installed on the walls and insulates to keep the home warm in winter and cool in the summer. It is moisture resistant and won't get moldy or break down. The CleanSpace Vapor Barrier seals off the home from the damp/wet ground below. The SaniDry Sedona removes excess moisture, keeping the area dry and protecting the wood. Lawrence's home is his biggest asset. Why wouldn't he want to protect it with his custom solution from Fortress Foundation Solutions?

This crawl space in Tazewell was dirty, unusable for storage, and had water damage from repeated flooding. Fortress solved these issues by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation System and a SmartSump sump pump System with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Now this crawlspace will stay clean and dry, providing extra storage space for this homeowner. 

This home had severe moisture and mold build up in the crawlspace. Our crew was able to remove the mold and fully encapsulate the crawlspace with our CleanSpace system. To ensure the space stays dry and remove the risk of future mold growth, sealing the crawl space off to the outside elements is key. Adding a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier is the last step to remove any moisture in the crawlspace eliminating the chance for future mold or mildew growth.

This dirty and moldy crawl space in Rural Retreat really needed some help. The insulation was soaked and falling down and standing water was everywhere.

This large crawl space in Rural Retreat had many issues caused by water intrusion. Not only were the walls stained, but there was also mold growing on them. This not only affects the crawl space, but the air quality of the entire house. Mold is related to issues like insomnia, heightened anxiety and depression, hair loss and many cold-like symptoms. Long-term exposure has been linked to permanent lung damage! Fortress believes in treating every homeowner like family and wants to make sure that our family and community have healthy homes. Our crew was able to install full perimeter WaterGuard leading to a SuperSump Plus Premier Sump Pump, bright white CleanSpace on the walls making sure they are sealed, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the air dry. This family can rest assured that their crawl space is clean, dry, and mold free!
