In Beaverdam, a homeowner faced the challenge of a sunken driveway, a common issue affecting safety and aesthetics. Notice in the photo how the misaligned concrete posed potential risks. Our team addressed this problem using the PolyLevel® system, a reliable solution for concrete repair. This system stabilizes and lifts the concrete slab, as shown in the improved after photo. By injecting high-strength polyurethane foam beneath the surface, we expertly leveled the driveway, enhancing both its function and appearance. Our expertise ensures a long-lasting and efficient solution for such concrete issues.
Warren G. of Ashburn, VA had water coming into his basement every time it rained. Tired of cleaning up the mess, he call Fortress Foundation Solutions. System Designer Todd SImmons was able to quickly diagnose the problem - a leaking wall crack - and provide the solution - a FlexiSpan. The Flexispan is a flexible sealant that will never dry or crack and ensures a waterproof seal. It also 'flexes' with the movement of the basement walls during season changes. Installer Spencer Stottlemyer was able to put up the Flexispan in a few short hours. Now Warren's basement is dry again!
Ron T. of Madison Heights, VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions after his garage had settled over 6 inches! He was hoping our PolyLevel foam would be able to help. System Designer Danny Camunas, met with Ron, completed an inspection, took some measurements and provided an estimate. Ron was ready for the restoration! Soon Tim Gregorin and his crew were onsite ready to install the PolyLevel Foam system. They were highly successful lifting the entire garage floor 6 inches! The progress can be seen in these before and after photos. Note the gray line on the garage wall. Ron is thrilled to have his garage restored to its original height.
This basement in Thurmont was in desperate need of some help! The old sump pump stopped working and the basement was flooding when it rained again. The walls had several ugly water stains and mold was also growing on the walls. The homeowners called Fortress Foundation Solutions to save their basement. Our System Designer went out to the home and assessed the damage. They decided that a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, a full-perimeter WaterGuard, CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, BrightWall Basement Wall Panels, and a SaniDry Sedona would be the best solution. BrightWall Panels are a rigid plastic sheeting that's attached to your basement wall by drilled-in plastic fasteners. Its bright white color maximizes the available light in your basement, creating a cheerful, clean-looking space. Our foreman went out and installed these products and ensure that this basement will stay clean and dry for years to come.
