Scott, a homeowner in Brookeville, Maryland, noticed over time that his gorgeous front patio was sinking significantly - particularly causing the patio roof to begin slanting as well. He called Fortress, and we sent out Skylar to perform a thorough evaluation. After inspecting the structure, Skylar determined that the patio was too heavy for the soil beneath it. With nearly a 6-inch drop, as seen in the before photo, Skylar knew the porch needed to be stabilized and that there was also a possibility of lifting it back up.
Nick was the foreman on this project, along with his helper Ricardo. They got to work installing two helical piers to permanently stabilize the patio. In the after photo, you can see how cleanly the bracket is installed - and once covered with dirt, it sits nearly flush with the ground.
Before, the Fitzgeralds in Alexandria, were experiencing structural concerns beneath the deck that supported their sunroom. After a full inspection, we found the area needed additional support, but the tight crawlspace made access difficult and required sections of the deck boards to be carefully removed. Gustavo, our foreman, and his crew installed 8 SmartJacks along with 20 feet of supplemental beam to properly stabilize the structure. Now, the sunroom is safely supported and stabilized for years to come.
Tackling water intrusion challenges in Alexandria, VA, our team transformed a wet basement into a fortress against moisture. As seen in the before photo, unwanted water made itself at home, revealing efflorescence behind walls. System designer, Skylar followed our mission: replace worry with wellbeing. By installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump, IceGuard, CleanSpace, SaniDry Sedona, and WaterGuard systems, we reclaimed this basement space, as showcased in the after photo. Our thrust for solving complex issues ensured a dry, serene, and reliable outcome—fortifying homes and peace of mind, alike.
In Alexandria, Virginia, two homeowners were experiencing sinking in their concrete driveway. They ignored it for a while, but once they noticed the crack getting bigger and bigger, they knew they needed to address it before the problem became even worse.
They reached out to Fortress after seeing one of our trucks in their neighborhood just a week prior. Our team came out to complete a full inspection, and Ethan later arrived to complete the repair and stabilize the driveway.
In Alexandria, Virginia, homeowners Amy and Richard were experiencing water intrusion, as seen in the before photo, even though they purchased the home with an existing waterproofing system already installed. Unfortunately, the phone number for the original company was out of service, and the company that installed the system had gone out of business - leaving the homeowners with no one to honor the warranties.
Knowing they needed a professional, long term solution, they reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions. Cara came out to perform a full evaluation and offered the homeowners something they couldn’t resist: a Lifetime of the Structure Warranty that is fully transferable and backed by our well established nationwide network.
The Alexandria homeowners agreed, and Gustavo and his crew got to work removing the failing system and installing a Fortress solution done the right way. As seen in the after photo, they upgraded from a small single pump sump system to our TripleSafe sump pump system featuring three pumps and a battery backup for added protection and peace of mind.
