Experiencing cracks, spalling, settling or bowing walls? Don’t wait for the problem to worsen. Trust our experienced masons to assess and resolve your foundation issues, swiftly and effectively.
What sets Top Course Masonry apart from the competition is our commitment to diagnosing and analyzing problems before setting to work on solving them. We believe it’s important always to correct an issue at the source rather than just treat the symptoms. Our team takes pride in the quality of our work, and we always strive to do things the right way.
CRACK INJECTION
Crack injection involves filling cracks in the foundation with specialized materials like hydrophobic or epoxy resins. These resins penetrate the cracks, effectively sealing them and preventing further water infiltration. This solution helps restore the structural integrity of the foundation and mitigate potential damage caused by moisture.
LATERAL SUPPORTS
Lateral supports involve installing braces or walls adjacent to the bowing walls to provide additional stability and prevent further movement. These supports can be made of materials like steel beams or wood. Lateral supports work by transferring the pressure exerted on the bowing wall to the newly installed supports, effectively relieving the load on the weakened foundation wall.
Parging Foundation Wall
Parging refers to applying a thin coat of mortar or cement-based material to the above-grade (above ground level) foundation walls. This helps improve the appearance, protects against water penetration, and provides an added layer of protection to the existing masonry.
Exterior Excavation
This involves digging around the foundation to expose the exterior walls, allowing for repairs, waterproofing, or reinforcement. It can be necessary when addressing severe foundation issues, such as extensive cracking, shifting, or deterioration.
Foundation Wall Rebuild
In cases where the foundation walls have severely deteriorated or are structurally compromised or bowing, rebuilding the walls may be the most appropriate solution. This process involves removing the damaged walls and constructing new ones to ensure the stability and integrity of the foundation. Rebuilding provides a long-term solution by ensuring a structurally sound foundation without the risks of compromised walls.

Happy Customer
I highly recommend Paul for any masonry service needs. He was punctual, professional and kept me updated on what he was going to do and actually did to repair and waterproof the end foundation wall of my home, where I had some block cracks. He and his assistants did a great job and were respectful with job site cleanup as well.
These solutions are implemented based on the specific needs and conditions of the foundation.
