Masonry Foundation Repair & Waterproofing
Protect your home with expert foundation repair and waterproofing services that stop damage before it gets worse.
Why Foundation Problems Need Quick Attention
Your foundation supports your entire home. When something goes wrong with it, you need to act fast. Foundation problems only get worse over time, and they get more expensive to fix the longer you wait. We see this all the time in Salem, OR, where wet winters and soil movement can stress foundations.
Maybe you have noticed cracks in your basement walls. Or water seeping in after heavy rain. Perhaps doors and windows are sticking, or you see gaps between walls and ceilings. These are signs that your foundation needs attention. The good news is that most foundation problems can be fixed before they cause serious damage to your home.
We specialize in masonry foundation repair, which means we work with brick, block, and stone foundations. These materials are strong, but they need proper maintenance and occasional repairs. Water is the biggest enemy of any foundation. When water gets into the masonry, it can cause cracks, shifting, and even structural failure if left unchecked.
Foundation Repair and Waterproofing Services
Foundation repair is not a one-size-fits-all job. Every home is different, and every foundation problem has its own solution. When you call us, we start with a thorough inspection of your foundation. We look for cracks, water damage, settling, and structural issues. Then we explain what we found in plain English and recommend the best way to fix it.
For cracks, we use professional repair techniques that seal them completely and prevent them from spreading. Small cracks might just need filling and sealing. Larger cracks or structural issues might require more extensive work like rebuilding sections of the foundation or installing support systems. We handle it all.
Our Foundation Services Include:
- Foundation crack repair and sealing
- Basement waterproofing and moisture control
- Foundation wall rebuilding and reinforcement
- Drainage system installation and repair
- Sump pump installation
- Block and brick foundation repairs
- Parging and exterior foundation coating
- Foundation settling and leveling solutions

Waterproofing is just as important as foundation repair. In fact, most foundation problems start with water. When water sits against your foundation or seeps through cracks, it causes all kinds of issues. It weakens the masonry, creates mold and mildew, damages belongings in your basement, and makes your home less comfortable.
Our waterproofing services keep water where it belongs - outside your home. We seal foundation walls from the inside and outside. We install or improve drainage systems that direct water away from your foundation. And we fix any weak spots where water might be getting in. This is especially important here in Salem where we get plenty of rain.
Prevention is always cheaper than repair. If your foundation is dry and in good shape now, consider waterproofing it before problems start. If you already have water issues, we fix the damage and then waterproof everything so it does not happen again. Either way, you end up with a dry basement and peace of mind. Work with experienced Salem masonry contractors who understand local conditions and building practices.
