Our Repair Services
Of the two walls (facing outwards and inwards respectively) that make up the foundation structure, it is the external part that most often requires close attention, as it serves as the main barrier against water penetration and supports the external masonry. However, repairing the interior walls can also be a solution to the problems of moisture penetration and dampness.
The most common types of our service may include:
Exterior tuckpointing
Our masonry experts cut and vacuum all existing joints and replace damaged stones and bricks as needed. We completely fill the voids and then apply a final coating with the original finish.
Concrete parging
This is the application of a smooth cement surface to the masonry exterior wall. We use it to protect the most vulnerable exterior part of the foundation from water and snow, as well as to replace partially deteriorated stonework and as a base for applying waterproofing, when repairing cracks on interior walls.
Crack Repair
Our foundation repair specialists at Drystone Masonry can professionally and quickly repair cracks in stone and brick foundations, basement walls, and masonry chimneys.
Waterproofing
Our foundation waterproofing process includes a thorough assessment of the surrounding landscape to identify potential sources of water infiltration, implementing drainage systems to redirect water away from your structure, and treating walls with possible options for masonry waterproofing.
Trust Drystone Masonry with your required foundation repairs and ensure its stability for years to come. Call now and get your free estimate!
