Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

Homeowner Helen, located in Frederick, Maryland, was in desperate need of a dehumidifier for her cellar. Moisture was collecting on her HVAC unit and water heater, and she didn’t like how damp the air felt - especially since she stored many of her seasonal items and belongings downstairs.

After a friend recommended Fortress Foundation Solutions, Helen reached out to us for help. Matt came out to inspect the property and knew the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier would be the perfect fit because Helen wanted a system she wouldn’t have to constantly maintain herself.

That same week, our service technician Donny installed the Sedona dehumidifier for her. Now, Helen’s humidity levels are under control, and she’s no longer dealing with excess moisture or condensation in her cellar.

Homeowners in Frederick, MD, reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about the structural integrity of their floors. Matt, one of our System Designers, was dispatched to perform a free inspection. During his evaluation, he discovered sagging floors and significant gaps between the main support beam and the floor joists.

To permanently stabilize the floor system, Matt recommended installing 12 feet of supplemental beam along with 12 SmartJacks. With the proper support in place, the homeowners can move forward with remodeling their kitchen without worrying about additional structural damage or floor movement.

Brandy's pool deck had developed large cracks and uneven concrete after years of freeze thaw cycles and soil washout beneath the slab. The damage had continued to worsen, creating both a safety concern and an eyesore. Using PolyLevel®, our team lifted the settled concrete back to level before sealing the cracks with NexusPro® to help protect against future water intrusion. Brandy now has a safer, smoother pool deck that's ready to enjoy all summer long.

Sterling, Virginia homeowner Joe reached out to Fortress while remodeling his basement after removing the finished walls and discovering significant cracks in his foundation walls. Before continuing with the project, he made the right decision to pause and call the local foundation experts at Fortress. We quickly scheduled a free inspection with one of our System Designers.

During the inspection, we found that the foundation wall had bowed inward more than two inches, leaving two effective repair options: PowerBrace™ steel beams, which stabilize the wall, or GeoLock® Wall Anchors, which take up less interior space while also providing the potential to pull the wall back toward its original position over time.

After reviewing both solutions, Joe chose the GeoLock® Wall Anchor System. Our crew got to work installing the anchors, permanently stabilizing the foundation wall and allowing Joe to move forward with his basement remodel with confidence.

Addison, a homeowner in Fredericksburg, Virginia had been dealing with foundation settlement issues for a while. Cracks had started to appear and windows weren't opening like they should. Tyler and his crew went out and installed 5 Push Piers to the exterior of Addison's home to provide permanent support to the foundation and prevent future sinking.
