Before & After Photos

This homeowner in Leesburg, Virginia was concerned about the uneven sidewalk leading to the front door. The homeowner was worried about the residents and visitors tripping over the sinking sidewalk. The homeowner gave Fortress Foundation Solutions for a free estimate and a permanent solution. Our system designer, Riley Ethier, informed the homeowner that the sidewalk was sinking due to natural soil erosion and settlement underneath the concrete. To remedy the situation, Riley proposed our PolyLevel system as the permanent solution. PolyLevel is an expanding polyurethane foam that is injected beneath the concrete to fill the gaps caused by soil erosion and raise and stabilize the concrete surface. Tim Gregorin took our PolyLevel rig and fixed this sidewalk! Once the PolyLevel Foam had stabilized and leveled the concrete, Tim sealed the joints with our NexusPro Joint Sealant. NexusPro prevents water from getting under the concrete where is can freeze and expand to cause more harm. This homeowner was elated to have peace of mind and the safety of the home restored!

Brandy's pool deck had developed large cracks and uneven concrete after years of freeze thaw cycles and soil washout beneath the slab. The damage had continued to worsen, creating both a safety concern and an eyesore. Using PolyLevel®, our team lifted the settled concrete back to level before sealing the cracks with NexusPro® to help protect against future water intrusion. Brandy now has a safer, smoother pool deck that's ready to enjoy all summer long.

In Boyds, Maryland, homeowner Vivek had lived in this home for 5 years when they started noticing the front porch slowly sloping forward. Over time, a void began expanding underneath the stoop. Every time it rained, water would puddle in the area and eventually caused the washout and void formation seen in the before photo.

System Designer Joe came out to evaluate the issue and put together a solution. Ethan, our PolyLevel foreman, along with co-foreman Samuel, injected PolyLevel foam beneath the stoop. The foam compresses the soil underneath, fills the void, and lifts the stoop back toward its original position - as seen in the after photo.

Now, there are no more tripping hazards or unsightly sinking concrete outside of Vivek’s home, and the repair is backed by a 5-year warranty.

In Lincoln, VA, a homeowner reached out to Fortress Foundation Solutions with concerns about their uneven and unsafe pool deck. Our inspection revealed soil movement and surface cracks as the main causes. To fix the issue, we used NexusPro® Joint Sealant to close cracks and protect against water damage, followed by our PolyLevel® system to lift and stabilize the sunken slabs. After injecting the expanding foam beneath the concrete, the deck was restored to a smooth, level, and secure surface. The result was a safer, long-lasting solution that gave the homeowner peace of mind and a renewed outdoor space.
