Industrial grade dehumidifier in Frederick, Maryland

Homeowner Helen, located in Frederick, Maryland, was in desperate need of a dehumidifier for her cellar. Moisture was collecting on her HVAC unit and water heater, and she didn’t like how damp the air felt - especially since she stored many of her seasonal items and belongings downstairs.

After a friend recommended Fortress Foundation Solutions, Helen reached out to us for help. Matt came out to inspect the property and knew the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier would be the perfect fit because Helen wanted a system she wouldn’t have to constantly maintain herself.

 

That same week, our service technician Donny installed the Sedona dehumidifier for her. Now, Helen’s humidity levels are under control, and she’s no longer dealing with excess moisture or condensation in her cellar.

Filling voids in Stafford, VA

In Stafford, Ms. Ruth had lived in her home for years. Over time, she started noticing the floor in her basement becoming unlevel and beginning to crack badly, as seen in the before photo. She researched concrete repair companies and found Fortress.

Troy was the system designer on call. He came out, met with Ms. Ruth, and got to work. Troy discovered voids underneath her concrete due to washout over time. He knew we had to fill the voids and put together a proposal that he and Ms. Ruth agreed on.

Ethan, our PolyLevel foreman, came out and executed Troy’s plan. He found the void pockets, drilled small dime-sized holes through the floor, and injected our poly foam underneath the slab. It compacted the soil, lifted the slab back up to level, and filled the voids, as seen in the after photo. Ethan sealed the holes and the cracks, and now Ms. Ruth’s basement is safe and stable again!
