A homeowner in Gaithersburg, Maryland had noticed that her concrete walkway had started sinking. She was already familiar with Fortress, so she gave us a call. Skylar responded and went out to meet with the homeowner. With his trained eye, Skylar quickly identified exactly what was happening and why.
The home’s downspouts were discharging water too close to the foundation and following the slope of the yard directly toward the concrete walkway. Over time, water would puddle there and wash out the soil underneath, causing the slab to sink.
Ethan and Sammy came out to complete the repair by extending all four downspouts and lifting the walkway back to level seamlessly.
