Homeowners in Hagerstown noticed their garage was cracking, settling, and becoming increasingly uneven. They called the experts at Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free evaluation. Joe was the System Designer on the project and knew the obvious solution was PolyLevel®. He explained how the hydrophobic foam would compress and stabilize the soil beneath the slab, fill the voids, and lift the concrete back toward its original position. Ethan and Samuel installed the PolyLevel® and sealed the cracks with NexusPro®, creating a cleaner appearance while helping prevent future soil washout and further damage.
A homeowner in Middletown, Maryland, had a sinking, unlevel sidewalk leading to their front door. It had become a tripping hazard, and fearing the cost of replacement, they reached out to Fortress. We sent Matt, our skilled System Designer, to perform a complete evaluation, and he showed the homeowner how we could lift and level their sidewalk for much less than the cost of replacement and with far less disruption.
This homeowner in Leesburg, Virginia was concerned about the uneven sidewalk leading to the front door. The homeowner was worried about the residents and visitors tripping over the sinking sidewalk. The homeowner gave Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate and a permanent solution. Our system designer, Riley Ethier, informed the homeowner that the sidewalk was sinking due to natural soil erosion and settlement underneath the concrete. To remedy the situation, Riley proposed our PolyLevel system as the permanent solution. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. Tim Gregorin took our PolyLevel rig and fixed this sidewalk! Once the PolyLevel Foam had stabilized and leveled the concrete, Tim sealed the joints with our NexusPro Joint Sealant. NexusPro prevents water from getting under the concrete where is can freeze and expand to cause more harm. This homeowner was elated to have peace of mind and the safety of the home restored!
Before calling us, the homeowner in Tuscarora, MD, faced a significant challenge with a large, unsettling crack splitting their concrete garage slab right down the middle, as you can see in the left photo. After our expert team stepped in, we used PolyLevel and NexusPro to not only mend the crack but also ensure a smooth, level surface. Notice in the right photo, the transformation is clear: a once damaged garage now seamlessly restored. At Fortress Foundation Solutions, we're committed to turning structural woes into wins with durable, effective solutions.
