This home owner called our office to see if we could help preserve "the bones" of their 1875 Victorian farmhouse. Our expert system designer, Skylar, was sent to do a complete and free evaluation.
Skylar quickly helped find a solution and our superintendent Nick took a few crews over to the property to "forever" brace the foundation with our EverBrace wall restoration system. The home owner can now continue the renovations knowing the foundation is secure for many, many more years to come!
In Westminster, Maryland, a homeowner was experiencing significant sinking of the concrete slab leading to her front door. She reached out to Fortress and scheduled a free evaluation. Matt, one of our skilled System Designers, came out to assess the slab and determined the solution was simple: PolyLevel®.
PolyLevel® is an expanding foam that fills voids, stabilizes the soil beneath the slab, and lifts the concrete back to its proper level. Now, this Westminster homeowner has restored the safety, stability, and curb appeal of her home.
This homeowner's crawlspace was in bad shape. It was holding a lot of moisture, causing the insullation to fall and the air quality to be less than ideal. A damp crawlspace can also threaten the integrity of the home by weakening the floor joists and beams. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions for help. Our systems designer went out and gave them a free estimate and proposed a solution to save their crawlspace. A crew installed a full encapsulation using our CleanSpace vapor barrier and SilverGlo insulation. They also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, which acts as an air purifier as well as a dehumidifier. This crawlspace is now safe from moisture and critters and has been turned into a usable space for storage. On top of all that, the homeowners can have peace of mind that they are breathing the cleanest air thanks to the SaniDry Sedona.
Homeowners in Clarksville, Maryland purchased a home that had previously undergone foundation repairs, as seen in the before photo. They lived in the home for 10 years before noticing that the foundation issues were continuing to worsen.
Concerned about the condition of their home, they contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a second opinion. After a thorough inspection, it became clear that the previous repair was only a temporary fix rather than a permanent solution.
System Designer Adam educated the homeowners on the cause of the problem and developed a customized, permanent solution for the bowing foundation wall. As seen in the after photo, the wall has been permanently stabilized and secured.
With a lifetime structural warranty in place, these Clarksville homeowners can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their foundation is protected for years to come.
