Housing in Norwood Center in Norwood includes homes sitting on fieldstone and block foundations, and spring snowmelt that saturates masonry and soil is what wears this masonry down. That is why our foundation & basement masonry work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. Older Boston homes sit on fieldstone and brick foundations that need attention every few decades. We repoint, parge, and repair cracks so the structure stays dry and stable.

Joints packed in layers with appropriate mortar, then parged where specified.
4. Water management

Are foundation cracks always serious?
No. Hairline vertical cracks are common and often cosmetic. Stair-step, horizontal, or widening cracks need evaluation, and we will tell you when an engineer should be involved.

Usually open mortar joints, splash from gutters, or negative grading at the wall. Masonry repair plus water management fixes most cases.
