A homeowner on Wycliffe St. in Bedford, VA, called Fortress Foundation Solutions after moisture issues in his crawl space. Efflorescence had built up on the walls from years of moisture seeping through the block. Our System Designer Brandon Conner, inspected his crawl space and provided a free estimate for an encapsulation. Soon foreman Travis Farmer and his crew were onsite installing drainage matting, and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace keeps out moisture protecting the wood joists keeping the space dry!
This homeowner, Robert, called us for repairs tied to his sagging floors in his home in Red Oak, Virginia. We installed 3 SmartJacks with a steel Supplemental Beam to support the section of floor that had become weakened by high humidity in his crawl space. Travis and Jack completed this job in just one day, leaving Roberts home better protected.
Warren and Shannon were noticing soft spots, bouncing floors, and uneven areas throughout their Bedford home. These symptoms indicated that the floor system needed additional support to prevent further sagging and structural issues.
To restore stability, our team installed the SmartJack® Floor Stabilization System in the crawl space beneath the home. These adjustable supports provide a strong foundation for the floor joists, helping stop further sagging and, in some cases, lifting floors closer to their original position. As shown in the after photos, the floor system is now properly supported, creating a stronger and more stable home.
System Designer, Sonny Kingsbury, met with a small church located in Rockbridge Baths, VA where they had several concerns they wanted to address. Sonny, made this an easy, stress-free process!
Foreman, Andre Luck (Lucky) and his crew completed the project for this church. They installed four Smart Jacks to support the floor, Smart Sump Pump, CleanSpace encapsulation system, SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep the crawl space dry and building a knee wall to protect the addition that the church had put on.
This homeowner reached out to Fortress because they had a crawlspace that was wet and musty, and needed our help!
Our System Designer, Scott Llewellyn, went out to assess the crawlspace and recommended a complete CleanSpace encapsulation, along with SmartSump sump pump.
Our CleanSpace vapor barrier is designed to permanently prevent moisture and outside air from getting into your crawlspace. Together, the vapor barrier and SmartSump will ensure that this cawlspace will stay clean and dry.
