(860) 809-5950STONE FOUNDATION RESTORATION · CT · MA · RI
Your stone foundation was built to last centuries. If it can breathe.
Built before 1950 with a damp basement or bowing walls? The fix is not more cement. Watch the quick walkthrough, then book your consultation.

No obligation. We'll take a look and tell you what it needs.
The common mistake
Sealing the inside with Portland cement traps moisture. The stones crack, the wall bows, and the dampness climbs up into the framing.
The right way
Cleaned back to bare stone and repointed with breathable lime mortar, so the wall moves water the way it always has. Exteriors hand dug, never with an excavator.
Built to outlast concrete
A properly restored stone foundation outlasts any modern concrete one. On a well-built wall, repointing is needed only about once a century.
Signs your foundation needs a look
Bowing or bulging walls · Crumbling mortar between the stones · A damp or musty basement · White chalky residue on the stone · Water seeping in after a storm
