"My experience with Henry Simpson Masonry could not have been better. Mr Simpson and Krista were easy to work with. They came out quickly, provided an estimate, and started the work in a timely and professional manner. The masonry crew did an excellent and efficient job. They also did a thorough cleanup when the job was finished. I highly recommend Henry Simpson Masonry!"

"Liquid Foundation Repairs installed a French Drain in my backyard a few months ago. I waited with my review to make sure that it woks. Had lots of rain since then and it works like a champ! Troy is very respectful, reliable and knowledgeable. Both him and his crew are punctual and hard working. The wok couldn’t be started right away due to lots of water and mud. Meantime, Troy called me several times so that we can agree on the proper time to start the job. They had a hard time because the entire work area was still a mess. They worked hard for several days and did an awesome job! I had a big tree trunk that fell over from the golf course next to my backyard and flattened my fence. They disposed of it and fixed the fence without charging a dime! They specialize in multiple jobs, so hire them with confidence! You won’t be disappointed!"

"When we purchased our house in July 2013 and we experienced significant flooding that was undisclosed by the seller. At the time of purchase it was our understanding that the basement had already been water proofed by a local Alabama competitor company when some foundation work had been done. However, the basement continued to flood in spite of the water proofing system installed. We called the competitor out to inspect their work but when they came out but they were resistant and not helpful toward solving our problems but they wanted to give us a quote on a new system even though we already had their system installed. We did not do anything about the flooding, even though we experienced occasional water in our basement, until we experienced another serious flooding event in April of 2014. Aqua Guard previously did work for us at our other home and we were extremely pleased with the quality of the work and that the system worked as advertised. So we called Aqua Guard to inspect the basement of our new house and give us a quote. We called Aqua Guard and they returned our call the same day and set up an appointment to meet with us within two weeks. Mike came to the house and inspected the basement and gave us a quote to rip out the competitor's system and install their system. We discovered that the competitor installed the sump pump in the highest corner of the house and so no water was being evacuated from the basement via the sump pump. Mike also told us we really did not even need a sump pump and that they could expel the water from the basement by sloping the system to the lowest corner of the house and outside. We informed Aqua Guard that we indeed wanted to hire them and they set up an appointment within one month to rip out the old system and install the Aqua Guard system. Mike and his crew showed up on time and discussed the plan and started work immediately. They completed the job in one day, which is impressive considering they had to break up the existing concrete, take out the old system, install the new system, pour new concrete, and run piping outside the house. Aqua Guard's crew was clean and conscientious. There was very little concrete dust or dirt in our basement after their full day of work. Interestingly, when Aqua Guard broke up the concrete and inspected the competitor's system in the area we were having the most difficulty, they discovered that there was tape covering the system so water could not flow through the system to the sump pump (although even if the system had not been taped the water would have not been able to make it to the sump pump because the pump was in the highest corner of the house and the problem spot was in the lowest and the system was not sloped to allow water to run toward the sump pump. In fact, the sump pump installed by the competitor never kicked on once during the year we owned the house). 
We have experienced several heavy rains since the Aqua Guard system was installed and we are now confident that our basement will remain dry. We also have peace of mind in knowing that if we have a problem in the future, we can contact Mike and he will come out and fix anything that might go wrong with the Aqua Guard system. We know this from experience. Aqua Guard water proofed the basement in our other house and the sump pump stopped working. We called Mike and they were out that same day to fix the problem and the basement was dry from that day forward. 
We are very satisfied with Aqua Guard's service and their product. If we purchase another house with water problems they will be the only waterproofing company we call. We would highly recommend calling and using Aqua Guard for all your waterproofing needs.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Brick and stone are durable, low-maintenance materials for siding and walls that offer excellent insulation, aesthetic appeal, and can increase property value.

Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.

Yes, brick can breathe through limewash. Limewash is a breathable coating made from natural lime and water, allowing moisture to pass through while providing a protective layer. Unlike synthetic paints or sealants, which can trap moisture within the brick and lead to issues like mold, limewash allows the brick to maintain its natural breathability. This characteristic makes limewash an ideal choice for historic structures where preserving the integrity of the brick is essential.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
