Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

The basement of this home in Charlottesville had an issue with water coming in through the foundation with rain. The homeowner reached out to Fortress for a solution to this problem.

Fortress solved this water intrusion problem by installing our WaterGuard XL System along the perimeter of the basement, along with a TripleSafe sump pump, our CleanSpace Wall System, and a SaniDry XP dehumidifier. These products will work together to keep this basement dry!

This homeowner wanted to be proactive in taking care of their investment of their rental property. Our System Designer, Bill Hunter, worked with the homeowner to come up with a permanent solution to address their concerns. 

Our Foreman, Charlie Evans, and his crew worked to complete this project which consisted of a full crawl space encapsulation. 

The crawl space of this home in Charlottesville was damp and musty and needed some help!

Our System Designer, Zach Bullock, went out to assess this home, and recommended installing a complete CleanSpace Encapsulation, along with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

These products will work together to ensure that this crawl space will remain clean and dry!

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

This customer's home was encapsulated by another company in 2017. In 2018, our customer purchased this home. Due to the poor installation of the previous company, they decided to have it re-encapsulated by us. This crawl space has multiple additions. The original foundation is made of flagstone. The addition on the home is cinderblocks. The crawl space was home to snakes and rodents. The house is also built on a hill, which created a very shallow opening between the ground and floor joists. 

Fortress Foundation Solutions removed the old, inefficient sump pump and vapor barrier, and then installed new drainage matting, CleanSpace liner, and a TripleSafe sump pump with battery backup and external discharge. We also used spray foam to insulate the flagstone, and we used insulation board for added insulation.
