Before & After Photos

This crawl space in Lexington was leaking and moldy. The dirt floor was covered in a thin layer of plastic that did not stop water and mud from getting in. Fortress solved these problems by installing a CleanSpace Encapsulation with a SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System to ensure that this crawl space will stay clean and dry!

Home Owner in Lexington Virginia called Fortress Foundation Solution in haste to get their Crawl Space waterproofed and encapsulated. System Designer, Brandon Conner, proposed our Triple Safe Sump Pump System. This will direct any water that was previously getting into the Crawl Space to the Sump Pump and than back outside. After the Sump Pump System is installed our Production Crew will complete the full Encapsulation Process. Encapsulating the Crawl Space will allow the home owners full access to the Crawl Space. 

The crawlspace that Fortress Foundation sales representative, Zach Bolluck, inspected in Natural Bridge Station, VA was a complete disaster. The floor of the crawlspace was either loose dirt or dirt covered with a thin plastic sheet. Plastic sheets used to cover the dirt ground in crawlspaces in never a permanent solution. To be honest, it really is not a temporary solution either. Along with unnecessary debris, this crawlspace was also covered with water. The drainage systems in place were ineffective; they did not capture or drain the water that was infiltrating the crawlspace. One of the major flaws of the existing drainage systems was the faulty sump pump. Without a properly working sump pump, a crawlspace is doomed to be moist, which may result in mold or wood rot (like in this home’s case). During this four day project, Fortress Foundation Solutions installed all of the proper equipment to encapsulate and waterproof the crawlspace. The first task Fortress always completes in any crawlspace is removing all debris. We like to have a clear space to work.

This homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions concerned about their crawl space. They noticed that each time there was a heavy rain, their crawl space would flood, causing an awful musty smell!

Fortress was quickly able to assess the issues in their crawl space and provide them with a permanent solution!

Our professional production team installed our patented CleanSpace encapsulation system along with our SmartSump. Our SmartSump is specifically designed for crawl spaces and can provide all the protection you need from leaks and floods.

This homeowner contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions because they had been receiving water in their crawl space. Fortress came up with a permanent solution to stop their crawl space from receiving water. We installed our CleanSpace Vapor Barrier along with our SmartSump Crawl Space Sump Pump System. This sump pup is the ideal option for crawl spaces. This sump pump is designed to fit with the CleanSpace liner and has a sump alarm to ensure you are always aware of any water in your crawl space.
