Our basement masonry repair services include addressing damaged brick, block, stone, or mortar in basement walls. Services encompass crack repair, mortar joint repointing, wall stabilization, and remediation of moisture-related damage.

Common causes include: Water intrusion and poor drainage Freeze–thaw cycles Hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil Foundation settling or soil movement Aging mortar or poor original construction

Minor hairline cracks can occur naturally as a house settles. However, expanding cracks, horizontal cracks, stair-step patterns, or cracks with water seepage indicate potentially serious issues that require professional inspection.

Our repair methods are determined by the severity and cause of damage, potentially including: Epoxy or polyurethane crack injection Mortar joint repointing Masonry patching or block replacement Wall reinforcement using carbon fiber straps or steel beams

When our team correctly identifies and addresses the underlying issues such as drainage problems or water pressure, and performs proper repairs, the solutions can provide long-term or permanent results.

Damp-proofing provides resistance to moisture but cannot prevent water under pressure. Waterproofing is a comprehensive solution that actively prevents water intrusion through membranes, drainage systems, and sealants. Waterproofing provides superior durability and effectiveness for long-term basement protection.

Exterior waterproofing prevents water from entering the structure and offers the most comprehensive protection, though it requires more extensive work and higher investment. Interior waterproofing manages water after entry and typically costs less while causing minimal disruption. Our professional assessment determines the optimal approach for your specific situation.

Timeline duration depends on several factors, including project size, material selection, and weather patterns. Most residential masonry work—including walkways, steps, and minor repairs—can be finished within several days. More extensive projects such as patios, chimney reconstruction, or foundation repairs typically require one to two weeks for completion. Arlington Masonry delivers a detailed project schedule during the estimation phase, ensuring clients understand the expected timeframe.

Regular upkeep helps avoid deterioration and expensive repairs down the line. Property owners should conduct annual inspections to identify cracks, loose mortar joints, or moisture problems. Maintaining clean surfaces, verifying adequate drainage, and arranging periodic repointing can dramatically prolong the durability of brick, stone, and concrete installations. Arlington Masonry provides customized maintenance recommendations based on each specific project.

Absolutely. Arlington Masonry has expertise in locating materials that closely replicate the color, dimensions, and texture of your current brick or stone. In situations where precise matches aren't available, the team employs blending methods to guarantee that repaired sections integrate naturally with the existing structure.
