Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This customer came to us with concerns about their musty, damp, and cold crawlspace and a crack in the foundation. To keep the heat in the house from escaping though the crawlspace, Fortress installed Foamax wall insulation. Then, Fortress installed the Flexispan wall crack repair system to fix the crack in the foundation and ensure a firm foundation. Finally, Fortress installed a CleanSpace liner to waterproof the crawl space and address the damp and musty issues the customer was facing.

The owner of this home in Riner reached out to Fortress because they had a crawl space that was damp and dirty, and they wanted a cleaner looking space.

Fortress went out and installed a complete CleanSpace encapsulation. Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is designed to permanently prevent moisture and outside air from getting into your crawlspace. This homeowner now has a much cleaner and brighter crawl space!

A proud home owner in Buchanan, VA wanted to create a usable area in their crawl space. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions to do just that! System Designer Caleb Stone introduced them to our Crawl Space Encapsulation Process using a Clean Space Vapor Barrier System with Silver Glow Insulation on the walls and a Sani Dry Sedona Dehumidifier. Foreman Charlie Evans and his production crew did a great job installing the system in a timely manner to create a space that is available for them to use comfortably.    

These homeowners approached Fortress Foundation Solutions for help with their dug-out crawlspace. Their crawlspace was getting penetrated by water at the floor level and mold was beginning to grow on the block walls. Because these homeowners used their crawlspace for storage and a home-workshop, they were worried about their personal belongings getting ruined by the incoming water and the damp, humid environment it was causing.; The incoming water was not only staining the concrete walls and floors, but it was also dampening the plywood the homeowner kept in the basement. A majority of this home’s problems were caused by the lack of a proper drainage system. Because of having little drainage, standing water puddles were also forming in the crawlspace. Fortress provided many solutions for this home’s crawlspace problems. To waterproof the walls of the crawlspace we applied CleanSpace panels to the walls. At the base of the walls, we installed WaterGuard, which captures all of the water that might penetrate the CleanSpace (if it even gets through!).

Heres a typical crawlspace in the Mount Crawford area.  Falling insulation, older vapor barrier on th ground, and an all around unsuable space.
