Before & After Photos

Notice in the before photo, the alarming gap between the home and chimney in Chantilly, VA - a clear sign of foundational troubles. Thanks to our expert team, including Kurtis, Santiago, Tyler, Rony, and Rony Jr., we seamlessly bridged this gap, as seen in the after photo. By employing Push Piers, we ensured a robust foundation repair, reinstating the home’s structural integrity and providing the homeowner peace of mind with a lasting solution.

This home owner called our Fortress Team needing extra support in their crawl space. This home was a rental property of theirs and they wanted it taken care of correctly! Our System Designer Dave created the solution to install eight of our Smart Jack Support Beam Systems to create the floor support needed. Dave also installed our Clean Space Vapor Barrier System to ensure the crawl space would remain dry. This gave the home owners the peace of mind they needed to rent this home out! 

This homeowner near Woodbine, Maryland was experiencing issues with sagging floors. They noticed a crack in the wall by their bedroom door frame, which is a common symptom of settlement. Knowing Fortress Foundation Solution's expertise in this area, they called for a solution. Our system designer went out and gave them a free estimate and presented a plan to solve their issue. Our crew then went out and installed SmartJacks to stabilize and lift the floors back to their original position. The floor was stabilized and lifted, and even closed the crack! The homeowner was very happy that their floor was returned to its original position and strength! These before and after photos show what Fortress Foundation Solutions is capable of!

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.
