I highly suggest Top Course!Posted on Google Jessica ReinartzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Top Course Masonry did a fantastic job with repairing my foundation at an AFFORDABLE price. They excavated all four walls of my house providing me pictures of the step-by-step process. They kept me fully informed of all the progress each day of the week and half long project and showed patience with all my questions and concerns. They fixed the deterioration in the foundation walls, provided a seal coating and an additional insurance layer of water repellent. They explained how to examine the whole ecosystem surrounding the home to divert water from entering. We addressed proper grading, landscaping, and water management. They also did a wonderful job installing 5 basement windows that were in need of significant masonry repair. I cannot say enough positive comments about the Top Course guys. I wish I could give 10 stars out of 5.. Outstanding people with a great work ethic, moral compass, and they also provided me with a good recommendation for a company to rebuild my stairs. 100% would recommend them to all my friends and neighbors!!Posted on Google Tom CitrinitiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We had a large foundation repair project and are so glad we went with Top Course Masonry. The work was done quickly, professionally, and to a high standard. Paul was great to work with—communicative, reliable, and clearly experienced. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend!Posted on Google SpanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul and his crew were fantastic. We had a crack in our foundation that caused water infiltration issues to our finished basement. Paul and his team were able to fix it via injection. They were all very professional, and did exactly what they said they would do. Very pleased overall. Thanks!Posted on Google Shannon SitlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing experience with Paul and Top Course Masonry. We have an addition on our home with a block foundation and there was some shifting of blocks due to drainage/freeze and thaw cycles over many years. The shifting was pretty small and there was no evidence of structural issues yet, but we wanted to address it before it progressed. We had several contractors come and insist our only option was complete foundation wall replacement and give us quotes that were incredibly expensive. Paul came in with a more open mind and asked more questions, looked for closely at what the actual issue was and was able to confirm that the complete rebuild was not necessary yet and gave us some middle of the road options to consider. Paul was prompt and detail oriented and easy to schedule the work with. When it came to doing the work Paul's crew was also great. They made the foundation repairs, took care of the property and worked with a sub contractor to bring in landscaping components as needed. It was a pleasure work with Top Course Masonry and I'd recommend them for foundation repairs to anyone!Posted on Google Elise RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 100%+ satisfied! Top Course was one of four estimates I received for a cinder block foundation repair. In my first meeting with Paul, I immediately had a sense of confidence that he has the requisite experience and knowledge, and was qualified to handle any surprise that might pop up. I like the fact that he specializes in foundations and basements, so he's seen it all. He was great with communicating regarding the scheduling, and he and his sons did an excellent job. No regrets and I highly recommend!Posted on Google Bob FoleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul and his crew at Top Course are skilled tradesmen who go about their work in a profession and friendly manner and did an excellent job waterproofing my foundation. Paul came in, analyzed the situation, proposed a remedy, provided a fair and timely quote and worked with me to address some issues that needed to be resolved before the work could start. The work was then begun and finished on schedule and Paul communicated with me at every step of the process. Now that the work is done I know I made the right choice in working with Top Course Masonry.Posted on Google Darlene DiamondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Damp basements can contribute to odors, humidity, and conditions that allow mold to thrive. Our basement waterproofing in Averill Park is designed to reduce water entry and help the space stay drier over time.
Some basements leak at wall cracks, others at floor joints, window wells, or cove areas. We inspect the space carefully and recommend the right waterproofing approach based on where water is getting in.
Water intrusion can damage finishes, stored items, and nearby structural materials if it continues. Waterproofing helps reduce the chance of repeated cleanup and larger restoration costs down the road.
We explain what we found, what we recommend, and what the work will look like day to day. You’ll get a clear scope and a straightforward path to a drier basement.
Properties in the area can deal with seasonal water pressure, shifting soil, and heavy storms. That local understanding helps us deliver more effective basement waterproofing in Averill Park.
We don’t rely on quick surface fixes alone. Our team uses proven methods and quality materials to create solutions that hold up and continue performing.
Some basements need foundation crack repair and sealing, while others need drainage improvements or sump solutions. We look at the whole issue before recommending the best combination of services.
We keep the work area as clean as possible, communicate throughout the project, and aim to complete the job efficiently. Our goal is to make the process smooth and predictable.
Top Course Masonry Inc. offers seasonal checkups for completed waterproofing work so homeowners can stay ahead of small issues. These visits help confirm that treated areas are holding up, drainage components are working as intended, and no new cracks or moisture patterns have developed. It’s a smart way to protect the investment you made in waterproofing and keep the basement performing well year after year. With ongoing support, you can feel more confident about the condition of your lower level and avoid surprise problems during the next storm season.
We inspect the basement for damp areas, visible cracks, staining, and signs of water entry. This helps us understand where moisture is coming from and how it’s moving through the space.
We build a plan based on your basement layout, entry points, and the level of protection needed. Our team explains the materials, methods, and expected outcome.
We complete the waterproofing work using reliable techniques and careful application. Afterward, we review the finished areas with you and answer questions.
Water often enters when the soil around the foundation becomes saturated and pushes moisture toward weak points. Small cracks, porous masonry, and gaps at joints can allow seepage during storms or snowmelt. Drainage issues around the home can also increase pressure against the walls. An inspection helps pinpoint the most likely entry path.
No, waterproofing is valuable for unfinished basements too, especially if you store items or use the space for laundry or utilities. Moisture can still damage materials, create odors, and raise humidity throughout the home. Our basement waterproofing in Averill Park helps protect the space regardless of how it’s used. It’s often easier and cheaper to address issues before finishing the area.
Yes, occasional puddles are often a sign that water is finding an entry point during peak pressure events. Even if it dries up later, repeated wetting can lead to staining, deterioration, and mold-friendly conditions. Addressing it early can prevent the problem from spreading or getting worse. We’ll recommend the right solution based on where the water collects.
The right approach depends on the source of the moisture and the condition of the foundation. We may recommend crack sealing, waterproof coatings, joint treatment, drainage improvements, or sump pump support. Each plan is tailored to the basement and the way water is entering. Our goal is reliable protection, not a temporary patch.
Some cracks are minor, but others can become pathways for water intrusion or signal movement that needs attention. If you see staining, dampness, or widening over time, it’s worth having it evaluated. We look at crack location, size, and moisture patterns to determine the best next step. The goal is to address the issue before it becomes a bigger problem.
Timelines vary based on basement size and the type of solution needed. Some sealing and crack repair projects can be completed quickly, while drainage or sump-related work may take longer. We outline the expected schedule before starting so you can plan around it. Our team works efficiently while keeping quality as the priority.
In many cases, musty odors often come from persistent moisture and high humidity in the lower level. When water entry is reduced and damp areas dry out, the basement typically smells cleaner and feels more comfortable. Waterproofing also helps limit conditions that allow mold and mildew to grow. The key is stopping moisture at the source.
Yes, moisture issues can raise red flags during inspections and negotiations. Waterproofing helps protect the property, improves basement usability, and can reduce buyer concerns about long-term damage. It also shows that the home has been maintained responsibly. A drier basement is a strong selling point in many markets.
Start by scheduling an inspection with Top Course Masonry Inc. We evaluate moisture concerns, identify likely entry points, and explain the best options for your basement.
