Fortress Foundation Solutions Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Fulton, Maryland had an issue with the front porch cracking due to its foundation settlement. The homeowner wanted to restore the porch and ensure that it was safe from further issues caused by settlement. They called Fortress Foundation Solutions for a permanent solution. Our system designer prescribed our Helical Piers to stabilize the sinking porch. Helical Piers have helical plates welded to the pier shaft to help to pull the pier into the soil during installation and provide anchoring strength as the weight of the foundation or structural element is transferred to the pier. One of our crews soon went out to install the system. Once the porch was stabilized, we used our NexusPro Joint Sealant to fill in the cracks and restore the porch's aesthetic. The homeowners can no enjoy their porch again without worry!

Lance R. of Marriottsville, MD had an addition on his home that was sagging and beginning to pull away from the original structure. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions for help! System Designer Kurtis Toppert performed a thorough inspection and provided a free estimate for the solution for additional foundation support. Lance agreed and soon foreman Michael and his crew were on site installing Smart Jack XT’s. These are still beams installed to provide extra support. Now Lance does not have to worry and can enjoy the addition on his home!

Fortress Foundation Solutions installed a perimeter WaterGuard System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System with an external discharge, and installed GeoLock Wall Anchors for foundation stabilization. We were also able to use the GeoLock Wall Anchors to stabalize a retaining wall supporting the customer's driveway.

This crawl space in Hampstead had many issues caused by water intrusion. The floors of the house were also warped. Not only were the walls stained, but there was also mold growing on them. This not only affects the crawl space, but also the air quality of the entire house. Mold is a big issue that can cause insomnia, heightened anxiety and depression, hair loss and many cold-like symptoms. Long-term exposure can even cause long term and sometimes permanent lung damage! Fortress believes in treating every homeowner like family and wants to make sure that our family is not becoming sick by and easily solved problem. Fortress went to this home and installed a CleanSpace Encapsulation, SilverGlow Wall Insulation, a full perimeter WaterGuard, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier, and SmartJack Supports. The SmartJackSupports straighten the floor of the home and add much needed support. This family can rest assured that their crawl space is clean, dry, and mold free!

A homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions about a basement area that was unusable due to the mold on the walls and high moisture levels. System Designer Skylar Beverage, was happy to meet with them, explain our waterproofing products and provide a free, same-day estimate. Ready to move forward, they agreed. A waterproofing crew was soon onsite installing WaterGuard in the floor and CleanSpace vapor barrier on the walls. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to keep things dry. Now this basement is dry and the homeowner can enter the clean and bright area for loads of added storage space!
