Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The owner of this home called us with concern due to the water seeping into her crawlspace. Not only was the crawlspace damp, but it was also extremely dirty. Cobwebs were climbing the walls along with the insulation falling from the ceiling. We were able to address all of the issues this homeowner was concerned with. Fortress Foundation Solutions first cleaned up this crawlspace by encapsulating it with CleanSpace dry matting. Although CleanSpace is usually installed from floor to ceiling, this homeowner asked that we only do the floor and the columns. Instead of CleanSpace on the walls, we installed Foamax. This was the homeowner’s personal preference. Foamax is a two inch thick insulation foil that is used to increases energy efficiency even more than CleanSpace. Rim Band Foam was also installed to seal off all air infiltration from the outside environment. To address the unwanted water, Fortress installed a Sanidry Condensate Pump and Lawnscape. Both help move the water out and away from the crawlspace and the home. Fortress left this crawlspace clean, dry, and extremely energy efficient.

The customer called Fortress Foundation Solutions with a moldy crawl space that was allowing the heat from the house to escape. Fortress solved these problems by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation and RimTight Insulation to ensure the crawlspace would stay mold free and insulated.

A homeowner near Bentonville, VA was greeted with an unwelcome surprise in their crawl space - animal feces, a clear sign of an unsealed and unprotected area. Looking for an immediate solution, they called Fortress Foundation Solutions. As you can see in the 'before' photo, it was an unsightly mess that posed health risks and potential home damage. We stepped in with our CleanSpace technology, meticulously removing the hazards and encapsulating the area. Notice in the 'after' photo how pristine and secure the crawl space looks, completely transformed. Our solution not only eliminated the immediate problem but also provided a durable, clean, and safe environment, ensuring the homeowner won't face such issues again. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, restoring peace of mind and cleanliness to your home is our top priority.

Fortress Foundation Solutions raked and leveled this customer's crawlspace, removed old, ineffective black plastic barrier, and removed falling insulation. We then installed drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, FoamMax insulation, a TripleSafe sump pump with external discharge, and a SaniDry dehumidifier. The quality of our work ensures a trouble-free crawlspace!

Entering this crawl space, one is initially hit with a terrible smell. This smell is the cause of the humidity and moisture in the space. The homeowner realized that the smell was a problem due to the poor drainage systems they had in the space; water was not exiting the crawl space properly. Fortress Foundation Solutions was approached by these homeowners to waterproof and encapsulate their crawl space in hopes to be able to transform it into usable storage afterward. This home’s crawlspace was able to be encapsulated and waterproofed easily. All of the basic encapsulation products were installed.
