Extending downspouts in Gaithersburg, Virginia

Challenge

A homeowner in Gaithersburg, Maryland noticed her concrete walkway had started sinking over time. After calling Fortress, Skylar came out to inspect the issue and quickly identified the cause. The home’s downspouts were discharging water too close to the foundation, and the slope of the yard directed water straight toward the walkway. Over time, the water washed out the soil beneath the concrete, causing it to settle and sink.
