Notice in the before photo, the alarming gap between the home and chimney in Chantilly, VA - a clear sign of foundational troubles. Thanks to our expert team, including Kurtis, Santiago, Tyler, Rony, and Rony Jr., we seamlessly bridged this gap, as seen in the after photo. By employing Push Piers, we ensured a robust foundation repair, reinstating the home’s structural integrity and providing the homeowner peace of mind with a lasting solution.
In Boyds, Maryland, homeowner Vivek had lived in this home for 5 years when they started noticing the front porch slowly sloping forward. Over time, a void began expanding underneath the stoop. Every time it rained, water would puddle in the area and eventually caused the washout and void formation seen in the before photo.
System Designer Joe came out to evaluate the issue and put together a solution. Ethan, our PolyLevel foreman, along with co-foreman Samuel, injected PolyLevel foam beneath the stoop. The foam compresses the soil underneath, fills the void, and lifts the stoop back toward its original position - as seen in the after photo.
Now, there are no more tripping hazards or unsightly sinking concrete outside of Vivek’s home, and the repair is backed by a 5-year warranty.
A homeowner in Potomac, MD had a waterproofing system installed by Fortress Foundation Solutions several years ago. At the time, they declined our recommended sump pump upgrade. However, after experiencing a power outage, their existing sump pump failed to operate - exactly the concern our System Designer had discussed during the original proposal.
While the waterproofing system continued to perform as intended, the failed sump pump left the basement vulnerable when it was needed most.
The homeowner called Fortress back out and decided to move forward with our recommended TripleSafe™ sump pump system. As shown in the after photo, we installed a TripleSafe™ system complete with battery backup protection.
Now, this basement is protected by a complete Fortress waterproofing system designed to keep it dry all the time - even during power outages.
In Lincoln, VA, a homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about their uneven and unsafe pool deck. Our inspection revealed soil movement and surface cracks as the main causes. To fix the issue, we used NexusPro® Joint Sealant to close cracks and protect against water damage, followed by our PolyLevel® system to lift and stabilize the sunken slabs. After injecting the expanding foam beneath the concrete, the deck was restored to a smooth, level, and secure surface. The result was a safer, long-lasting solution that gave the homeowner peace of mind and a renewed outdoor space.
