Services
Basement Waterproofing
Our comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions address hydrostatic pressure and exterior drain tile failures. We install interior drainage systems with sump pumps and vapor barriers, creating permanent dry environments. The process includes foundation wall sealing and pressure relief channels to redirect groundwater away from living spaces.
Foundation Repair
Specialized foundation crack repair services for fieldstone, block, and poured concrete foundations. Our masons implement structural reinforcement techniques for bowing walls and cracked floors, using industry-approved materials to restore foundation integrity and prevent future water intrusion.
Crawlspace Solutions
Complete crawlspace waterproofing systems featuring drainage matting, perimeter drains, and encapsulation with heavy-duty vapor barriers. These solutions eliminate moisture buildup, prevent mold growth, and improve overall home energy efficiency through controlled humidity levels.
Exterior Drainage
Custom exterior drainage installations including curtain drains and grading solutions. Our systems redirect surface water away from foundations using strategically placed corrugated piping and gravel trenches, addressing landscape-related water accumulation issues around properties.
Masonry Services
Full-service masonry solutions for residential properties, including patio installations, retaining walls, and walkway construction. We use durable materials like bluestone and concrete to create functional outdoor spaces that enhance property aesthetics while directing water away from foundations.
