Before & After Photos

Scott, a homeowner in Brookeville, Maryland, noticed over time that his gorgeous front patio was sinking significantly - particularly causing the patio roof to begin slanting as well. He called Fortress, and we sent out Skylar to perform a thorough evaluation. After inspecting the structure, Skylar determined that the patio was too heavy for the soil beneath it. With nearly a 6-inch drop, as seen in the before photo, Skylar knew the porch needed to be stabilized and that there was also a possibility of lifting it back up.

Nick was the foreman on this project, along with his helper Ricardo. They got to work installing two helical piers to permanently stabilize the patio. In the after photo, you can see how cleanly the bracket is installed - and once covered with dirt, it sits nearly flush with the ground.

Before, the Fitzgeralds in Alexandria, were experiencing structural concerns beneath the deck that supported their sunroom. After a full inspection, we found the area needed additional support, but the tight crawlspace made access difficult and required sections of the deck boards to be carefully removed. Gustavo, our foreman, and his crew installed 8 SmartJacks along with 20 feet of supplemental beam to properly stabilize the structure. Now, the sunroom is safely supported and stabilized for years to come.

This home owner called our office to see if we could help preserve "the bones" of their 1875 Victorian farmhouse. Our expert system designer, Skylar, was sent to do a complete and free evaluation.

Skylar quickly helped find a solution and our superintendent Nick took a few crews over to the property to "forever" brace the foundation with our EverBrace wall restoration system. The home owner can now continue the renovations knowing the foundation is secure for many, many more years to come!

Homeowners in Clarksville, Maryland purchased a home that had previously undergone foundation repairs, as seen in the before photo. They lived in the home for 10 years before noticing that the foundation issues were continuing to worsen.

Concerned about the condition of their home, they contacted Fortress Foundation Solutions for a second opinion. After a thorough inspection, it became clear that the previous repair was only a temporary fix rather than a permanent solution.

System Designer Adam educated the homeowners on the cause of the problem and developed a customized, permanent solution for the bowing foundation wall. As seen in the after photo, the wall has been permanently stabilized and secured.

With a lifetime structural warranty in place, these Clarksville homeowners can now enjoy peace of mind knowing their foundation is protected for years to come.

This homeowner in Tomsbrook,VA called Fortress Foundation Solutions with concern about a wall that was beginning to bow inward. Our System Designer was able to go out to this home and provide a permanent solution. Our Foreman,and his crew went to install the following products that were suggested by our System Designer. This solution included Power Braces. Power Braces help to support a weakened wall. This product prevents the wall from collapsing any further.
