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 homeowner's crawlspace was in bad shape. It was holding a lot of moisture, causing the insullation to fall and the air quality to be less than ideal. A damp crawlspace can also threaten the integrity of the home by weakening the floor joists and beams. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions for help. Our systems designer went out and gave them a free estimate and proposed a solution to save their crawlspace. A crew installed a full encapsulation using our CleanSpace vapor barrier and SilverGlo insulation. They also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which acts as an air purifier as well as a dehumidifier. This crawlspace is now safe from moisture and critters and has been turned into a usable space for storage. On top of all that, the homeowners can have peace of mind that they are breathing the cleanest air thanks to the SaniDry Sedona. 

This customer called because they were ready to list their home for sale, but needed to fix the water problem in the crawl space first. They were able to quickly get an appointment with Zach Bullock who completed an inspection and provided an estimate the same day. Charlie Evans, foreman, was able to come with his crew to regrade, install EZ flow drainage pipe and a SmartSump sump pump system to keep the crawlspace dry. A dry crawl space is at the top of home buyer's lists, making this home buyer ready!
