Floor stabilization in Spotsylvania, VA

In Spotsylvania, Virginia, Mr. Avery called Fortress after noticing sagging floors, gaps, and soft spots above his basement. Mr. Avery had seen our advertisements and knew we were the right company to call.

As shown in the before photo, his home was being supported by wooden columns. Unfortunately, the weight-bearing capacity of wood is not nearly as strong or reliable as the weight-bearing capacity of our SmartJack XL system - which is what you see installed in the after photo.

Proper support. Built to last.

Side Walk Safety

This homeowner in Leesburg, Virginia was concerned about the uneven sidewalk leading to the front door. The homeowner was worried about the residents and visitors tripping over the sinking sidewalk. The homeowner gave Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate and a permanent solution. Our system designer, Riley Ethier, informed the homeowner that the sidewalk was sinking due to natural soil erosion and settlement underneath the concrete. To remedy the situation, Riley proposed our PolyLevel system as the permanent solution. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. Tim Gregorin took our PolyLevel rig and fixed this sidewalk! Once the PolyLevel Foam had stabilized and leveled the concrete, Tim sealed the joints with our NexusPro Joint Sealant. NexusPro prevents water from getting under the concrete where is can freeze and expand to cause more harm. This homeowner was elated to have peace of mind and the safety of the home restored!

Settling Foundation Repair in Nokesville, Va

This customer noticed significant settling of their bay window on the front of their home. After calling Fortress Foundation Solutions, setting an appointment, and receiving an inspection and recommendation from one of our system designers, they chose to accept our proposal to fix their settlement issues for good! We turned to our Helical Pier system to stabilize and restore the position of their foundation! Helical piers are a great option for stabilizing foundations or other masonry elements and we're so glad that we were able to utilize them for these clients!

Garage slab repair in Tuscarora, MD

Before calling us, the homeowner in Tuscarora, MD, faced a significant challenge with a large, unsettling crack splitting their concrete garage slab right down the middle, as you can see in the left photo. After our expert team stepped in, we used PolyLevel and NexusPro to not only mend the crack but also ensure a smooth, level surface. Notice in the right photo, the transformation is clear: a once damaged garage now seamlessly restored. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we're committed to turning structural woes into wins with durable, effective solutions.

Waterproofing in Thurmont, MD

Homeowner in Thurmont, Maryland was experiencing water intrusion in his basement. After one particularly heavy rainstorm, he decided enough was enough - he wanted a dry basement all the time, regardless of the weather.

He reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions and scheduled a free estimate with Nathan. After inspecting the property, Nathan found several areas where water was entering the basement. As seen in the before photo, the basement was in rough condition.

Nathan recommended a complete waterproofing solution, which is shown in the after photo. The system included our WaterGuard drainage system, a TripleSafe sump pump system, CleanSpace wall system, and TrenchDrain installed around the utility sink and water heater area to capture water before it could reach the basement floor.

Now, this Thurmont homeowner can enjoy peace of mind knowing his basement will stay dry, even during the heaviest rainstorms.
