Masonry Foundation Repair & Waterproofing
Protect your home with expert foundation repair and waterproofing services that stop damage before it gets worse.
Foundation Problems Need Immediate Attention
Your foundation is literally what holds up your entire home. When cracks appear in brick or block foundations, water intrusion happens, or you notice walls bowing or shifting, you need professional masonry repair right away. Small foundation problems turn into major structural damage if you wait too long.
We repair masonry foundations throughout West Palm Beach. Our team identifies the root cause of foundation damage, whether it's soil settlement, water damage, poor drainage, or structural stress. Then we fix the problem correctly using proven masonry techniques that stabilize your foundation for the long term.
Foundation waterproofing is just as important as structural repair. Florida's heavy rains and high water table put constant pressure on foundations. We apply professional waterproofing systems that keep water out, prevent future damage, and protect your investment. If you also notice issues with your exterior masonry, our brick repair services can address those problems as well.
Signs Your Foundation Needs Repair
Watch for these warning signs that indicate foundation problems:
- •Horizontal or stair-step cracks in foundation walls
- •Water seeping through foundation walls or floor
- •Doors and windows that stick or won't close properly
- •Gaps between walls and ceiling or floor
- •Uneven or sloping floors throughout your home
- •Visible bowing or bulging in foundation walls
Don't ignore these signs. Foundation damage only gets worse over time, and repairs become more expensive the longer you wait. We provide honest assessments of your foundation condition. If you need repair work, we explain exactly what's wrong and what it takes to fix it properly.
Our waterproofing systems include exterior and interior options depending on your situation. Exterior waterproofing involves excavating around the foundation, applying waterproof membranes, and installing proper drainage. Interior waterproofing uses sealants and drainage systems to manage water that gets through. Sometimes we need to address both the foundation structure and nearby features like retaining walls that affect water flow around your home.
How We Repair and Waterproof Foundations
Our foundation repair process addresses both the symptoms and the underlying causes:
Thorough Inspection
We start by examining your entire foundation inside and out. We look for cracks, water damage, settling, and structural movement. We also check your property's grading and drainage to identify what's causing the problem. This complete assessment tells us exactly what repairs you need.
Structural Repair
For cracked or damaged foundation walls, we use appropriate repair methods. This might include filling and sealing cracks, rebuilding damaged sections, or installing reinforcement systems. For severe settling or movement, we may need to underpin the foundation or install piers for additional support. Every repair is designed to restore structural integrity.
Waterproofing Application
Once structural repairs are complete, we apply professional-grade waterproofing. This includes waterproof membranes, drainage systems, and sealants that keep water away from your foundation. We also address grading issues and install or repair gutters and downspouts to direct water away from your home.
After all work is finished, we clean up completely and explain how to maintain your foundation. Proper maintenance prevents future problems. If you need additional masonry work like chimney repairs, we can handle those projects at the same time.
