EverBrace Project on Jasontown Rd, Westminster, MD

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!

 

 

 

 

Concrete repair in Westminster, MD

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.

Failing stairwell repair in Westminster, MD

 

Homeowners in Westminster reached out to Fortress after fearing their stairwell was going to cave in. They had noticed subtle cracks that quickly became much more severe and contacted Fortress for help. Matt, one of our skilled System Designers, visited the property to diagnose the cause of the failure. He discovered that water pooling behind the stairwell due to the gutter discharge was creating hydrostatic pressure, causing the stairwell wall to cave in. He recommended a GeoLock® Wall Anchor System with an extension to reach stable, virgin soil beyond the failing stairwell. The anchors were installed to stabilize the wall permanently and provide the opportunity to gradually pull it back into place.

Clean Crawlspace and Clean Air

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. 

Professional waterproofing services in Silver Spring, MD

As seen in the before photo, their basement relied on an inadequate sump pump system and an exterior waterproofing system that was no longer effectively managing water intrusion. System Designer Riley conducted a thorough inspection and designed a comprehensive solution that would provide the homeowners with lasting protection and peace of mind.

Foreman Nick and his crew completed the installation seamlessly, ensuring every component was installed to the highest standard. Now, Tevin and Dawn can enjoy the confidence that comes with a dry, protected basement and a solution designed to last for the lifetime of the home.
