Masonry Foundation Repair & Waterproofing
Protect your home's foundation with expert masonry repair and waterproofing solutions that prevent water damage and structural issues.
Understanding Foundation Problems
Your foundation is literally what holds your house up. When masonry foundations develop cracks, leaks, or structural issues, they threaten everything above them. Water intrusion through foundation walls can damage your basement, create mold problems, and weaken the entire structure over time.
Foundation problems don't fix themselves. They get worse as water freezes and thaws in cracks, as soil shifts, and as pressure builds against compromised walls. What starts as a hairline crack can become a serious structural issue if you ignore it. That's why we encourage early intervention when you notice foundation concerns.
We specialize in masonry foundation work including brick, stone, and block foundations common in Fargo, ND homes. Our repair methods address both the symptoms you can see and the underlying causes you might not notice. This comprehensive approach protects your investment and gives you peace of mind.
Foundation Repair Services
We repair all types of masonry foundation damage. From minor crack filling to major structural repairs, we have the expertise and equipment to restore your foundation's integrity. Our repair work focuses on long-term solutions, not temporary patches.
Our foundation repair services include:
- Crack repair and injection sealing
- Mortar joint replacement and repointing
- Brick and block replacement in damaged areas
- Structural reinforcement and stabilization
- Parging and surface restoration
- Foundation wall rebuilding when necessary
Before we start repairs, we assess the full extent of the damage and identify what caused it. Sometimes foundation problems stem from drainage issues, soil settlement, or inadequate construction. We address these root causes as part of our repair process, not just the visible damage.
Every repair we make uses materials and techniques designed to match your existing foundation while providing superior strength and durability. You won't see obvious patches or mismatched work when we're done.
Waterproofing Solutions
Waterproofing your foundation prevents water from entering your basement or crawl space. This protection is especially important in Fargo, ND where spring thaws and heavy rains can create serious water pressure against foundation walls. We use proven waterproofing methods that create a barrier against moisture intrusion.
Our waterproofing services protect your foundation from the outside and inside. Exterior waterproofing involves excavating around the foundation, applying waterproof membranes, and ensuring proper drainage away from the building. Interior waterproofing includes sealants, drainage systems, and moisture barriers appropriate for your situation.
We also address common water entry points like deteriorated mortar joints, cracks, and gaps where utilities enter the foundation. By sealing these vulnerable areas and directing water away from your foundation, we create multiple layers of protection against water damage.
Proper waterproofing isn't just about keeping water out today. It's about preventing the freeze-thaw damage, mold growth, and structural deterioration that water causes over years and decades. This protection maintains your home's value and keeps your living space dry and healthy.
