In Alexandria, Virginia, two homeowners were experiencing sinking in their concrete driveway. They ignored it for a while, but once they noticed the crack getting bigger and bigger, they knew they needed to address it before the problem became even worse.
They reached out to Fortress after seeing one of our trucks in their neighborhood just a week prior. Our team came out to complete a full inspection, and Ethan later arrived to complete the repair and stabilize the driveway.
In Westminster, Maryland, a homeowner was experiencing significant sinking of the concrete slab leading to her front door. She reached out to Fortress and scheduled a free evaluation. Matt, one of our skilled System Designers, came out to assess the slab and determined the solution was simple: PolyLevel®.
PolyLevel® is an expanding foam that fills voids, stabilizes the soil beneath the slab, and lifts the concrete back to its proper level. Now, this Westminster homeowner has restored the safety, stability, and curb appeal of her home.
Homeowners in Sykesville, Maryland, contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions after noticing a crack in the concrete slab of their unfinished basement. Concerned that the crack would continue to worsen, they made the right decision and scheduled a free inspection.
Our System Designer, Riley, performed a thorough evaluation of the property and discovered that the entire left corner of the home was settling. After identifying the cause of the problem, he recommended installing a 3 Push Pier System to permanently stabilize the sinking section of the home's foundation.
Push piers transfer the weight of the structure to stable soil below, helping prevent further settlement and protecting the home's structural integrity for the long term. Once installed, the homeowners gained the peace of mind that comes with Fortress Foundation Solutions' fully transferable lifetime warranty, ensuring their home is protected for years to come.
In Simpsonville, MD, our client's front porch stoop was facing issues with sinking and cracking. As shown in the before photo, the porch had become unstable. We resolved this with our expert team using our PolyLevel system to raise and stabilize the concrete. To further protect the structure, NexusPro Joint Sealant was applied to ensure a secure bond resistant to UV rays and extreme weather. Finally, SealantPro was used to shield against water damage, effectively extending the porch’s life. Notice in the after photo how the results ensure stability and a cleaner appearance.
