This homeowner called Fortress Foundation Solutions after purchasing a rental property that had water in the crawl space. After being called by the tenants multiple times, they wanted a permanent solution! Chris Wilmouth, System Designer, inspected the crawl space proposing an encapsulation, Smart Sump sump pump and SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The Smart Sump will remove any water, the SaniDry Sedona will keep humidity low and the CleanSpace Vapor Barrier will seal off moisture from the ground getting rid of mildew and musty smells. Now this landlord doesn't have to worry about calls from tenants any more!
Michael was concerned about his sinking patio. The under-patio drainage system was aging and had started to wash away the dirt causing the slab to sink and pull away from the retaining wall. System Designer Riley Ethier, came out to complete an inspection and provide a free estimate. He determined that our PolyLevel Injection Foam would be able to lift the patio and restore it back to the original height. Our PolyLevel crew soon came out and successfully lifted the patio by drilling small holes in the concrete, inserting foam and then patching the holes. Michael was pleased with the results!
A Montgomery Village homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing the settling of the walkway to his front door. Over time, a significant tripping hazard had developed. A System Designer was happy to meet with the homeowner, to conduct an inspection and provide a same-day estimate. Ready for a safe front walkway, the homeowner agreed! Soon, the Fortress PolyLevel crew arrived at the home and began their work. They drilled small holes at measured intervals into the concrete, filling these holes with PolyLevel until the walkway was lifted to the desired height. Once leveled, the tiny holes were filled, and the sidewalk was restored to its original state. Now, the homeowner and his family can confidently walk on the sidewalk without the fear of tripping!
Sam S. of Montgomery Village, MD wanted to finish his basement for added living space. However, water coming in had made this impossible. He called Fortress Foundation Solutions. After meeting with a System Designer and receiving a free estimate, he was ready for a dry basement! A Fortress crew took care of Sam's home by installing a WaterGuard drainage system and Triple Safe Sump Pump. Now Sam's basement is dry and ready to become more living space for him and his family.
Ian D., of Potomac, MD, noticed his basement walls bowing more and more. He also had stairstep cracks in the walls that were growing. He called the foundation experts - Fortress Foundation Solutions! A System Designer met with him and provided a free estimate to permanently stabilize his walls: a Carbon Armor Wall System. These straps are 10-times stronger than steel, yet flexible enough to contour tightly against the basement wall. Soon a Fortress crew was onsite preparing the basement walls by grinding down strips. Next, heavy epoxy was applied to the walls and the carbon straps attached. ArmorLock brackets bind and secure the CarbonArmor straps to floor joists making the CarbonArmor solution fast, non-invasive, and ideal for quickly stabilizing bowing and leaning walls. Now this Potomac homeowner can sleep better at night knowing his walls are stabilized!
