Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Marshall, VA, were experiencing significant settling around their concrete pool deck, creating a major safety concern. They reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions, and our System Designer, Jamey, performed a complete evaluation. After his inspection, he reassured the homeowners that they didn't need to replace their concrete - we could lift it instead.

That's exactly what we did. Our installation team, Ethan and Samuel, injected PolyLevel® foam beneath the slab in multiple areas to lift and level the concrete. Once the slab was restored, they sealed the remaining cracks with NexusPro® joint sealant to help prevent future water intrusion and soil washout.

Now, these homeowners can enjoy their pool all summer long without worrying about uneven concrete or safety hazards.

Homeowner in Williamsport, MD had noticed significant settling of their concrete walkway. Once it reached a hazardous state they reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to professionally repair it. System Designer Cara went out to address the settlement and sinking. She brought her measuring tools and determined an 8 inch void underneath the slab. She put together a reasonable proposal that aligned with the homeowners goals and budget and the proceeded with our solution. Ethan and Samuel came out to do the repairs and lifted and leveled the slab. 

Steven and Linda have lived in their Williamsport, Maryland home for the past 5 years. Over time, they started noticing major comfort issues inside the home. In the winter, the floors were freezing cold, and in the summer, the house became hot, humid, and smelled musty.

They knew something peculiar was going on, but they couldn’t figure out the source. They tried sealing doors with foam, covering windows, and doing everything they could upstairs - but nothing worked.

Finally, they decided to look literally beneath their feet and checked their crawl space. What they found explained everything. The crawl space was exposed dirt, barely covered by old plastic, the insulation in the floor joists was falling down as seen in the before photo, and the vents were wide open.

After seeing the condition of the crawl space, they Googled “crawl space repair in Gaithersburg, MD” and Fortress popped up. They gave us a call, received a free estimate from Matt, and Pete was out just days later installing the solution you see in the after photo.

Now, they no longer complain about harsh winter floors or summer humidity, and they’re even starting to notice a subtle decrease in their electric bills as well.

This customer noticed cracking on several of their basement walls. 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 foundation issues for good! We turned to our PowerBrace system to stabilize their walls against further bowing. PowerBraces are a great option for stabilizing walls and we're so glad that we were able to utilize them for these clients!

Tammy was dealing with water intrusion and high humidity in her Bracey crawl space. Left untreated, these conditions could have led to mold, structural damage, and poor air quality throughout the home. Warren and his crew completely transformed the crawl space by installing a CleanSpace® vapor barrier, EZ Flow drainage system, two TripleSafe™ sump pumps, a SaniDry™ Sedona dehumidifier, and SilverGlo™ wall insulation. As shown in the after photo, the crawl space is now dry, sealed, and fully protected from moisture and humidity for the long term.
