After acquiring a rental property with a damp crawl space, this homeowner sought assistance from Fortress Foundation Solutions. Faced with recurring calls from tenants regarding the issue, they desired a lasting resolution. Chris Wilmouth, System Designer, conducted a thorough inspection of the crawl space and proposed a solution comprising encapsulation, a Smart Sump sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

With these improvements in place, the landlord can now enjoy peace of mind without the burden of frequent tenant complaints.

Kai J. 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. Kai's crawl space needed EZ Flow drainage, a Smart Sump Sump Pump, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. EZ Flow directs groundwater to the Smart Sump, which pumps the water outside the home. 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. Kai's home is his biggest asset. Why wouldn't he want to protect it with a custom solution from Fortress Foundation Solutions?"
