Downspout extensions in Gaithersburg, Maryland

 

A homeowner in Gaithersburg, Maryland had noticed that her concrete walkway had started sinking. She was already familiar with Fortress, so she gave us a call. Skylar responded and went out to meet with the homeowner. With his trained eye, Skylar quickly identified exactly what was happening and why.

The home’s downspouts were discharging water too close to the foundation and following the slope of the yard directly toward the concrete walkway. Over time, water would puddle there and wash out the soil underneath, causing the slab to sink.

Ethan and Sammy came out to complete the repair by extending all four downspouts and lifting the walkway back to level seamlessly.

Sykesville, Maryland professional concrete repair

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.
