Looking for a reliable solution to lift and level their concrete, they reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions to address the issue.

Upon contacting us, their journey with Fortress Foundation Solutions began with a call to our Customer Care Specialist, who quickly scheduled a home inspection. During this appointment, our System Design Specialist reviewed the homeowner's driveway thoroughly, diagnosing sinking and settling issues common in the area's soil.

We proposed our PolyLevel system—known for its strength and efficiency—to resolve the homeowner's problem.

Throughout the process, we prioritized minimal disruption and ensured thorough attention to detail. Afterward, our team conducted a comprehensive cleanup, leaving the driveway smooth, stable, and safe once again. The outcome was not just a visually improved driveway, but a long-lasting solution that reaffirmed the homeowner's confidence in their property's safety and aesthetic appeal.

Steven P. moved into his home on Hopewood Road, Falls Church, VA, two years ago. Right away he noticed water coming into the basement. Before calling Fortress Foundation Solutions he tried many fixes, but none were successful. The water had damaged his flooring which was now buckled and popping up. System designer, Skylar Beverage met with Steven, inspected his basement, explained our products and provided a free estimate. Ready for a real solution, Steven decided to move forward. Soon foreman Edgar and his crew were onsite installing a WaterGuard drainage system and Triple Safe Sump Pump. The WaterGuard is set into a trench around the perimeter of the basement so that all water entering it flows to the Triple Safe Sump Pump. The powerful Triple Safe has a battery back-up and will function if the power goes out. Now Steven can replace his flooring and use his basement living space again without worrying about it getting ruined!
