"I was not there during the work; however, the project manager was Great, he provided a daily progress report every evening. Texted photos of the project in different stages of their progress. He alerted me when there was an issue and provided sound recommendations and options. He stayed in budget but did not sacrifice quality and workmenship. General Background: The purpose of the project was leveling the house. The house was built on a crawl space about 30 years ago. Because the house was on a crawl space and the distance from the ground to the house was about two blocks high or about 22 inches high, a tunnel rat could not fit into that space to obtain an accurate assessment of the foundation issue. I know, I was a tunnel rat during one of my tours in Vietnam. Mount Valley Foundation Services project manager could only give me an estimate of the foundation issue. Based on his experience, he provided a very good estimate what was wrong and what it would take to level the house and cost. What that meant was they would have to tear out the subflooring exposing the crawl space area. Every room offered a new surprise; however, the project manager was on target regarding his assessment. I was very impressed regarding their workers, starting the project on time, they cleaned up the area before leaving every day. I am very glad I hired them to do this job. John Thomas"

"Excellent work and pricing were very reasonable. Jim and his crew were awesome. They replaced my back fence, and the work was done very professionally and in a timely manner. I would most definitely recommend this company for a fence."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Spalling brick is not uncommon, but it does indicate a serious issue. It can be caused by water damage, an intense freeze-thaw cycle, or something else. Painted bricks can be susceptible to spalling, as the paint doesn’t allow the porous material of the brick to breathe, which can trap moisture. Spalling should always be addressed immediately before more serious structural damage occurs.

Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength. 

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.

You should worry about brick wall cracks when they are wide and growing, or in a horizontal or stair-step pattern. Additionally, they may be accompanied by other signs of structural stress. In these cases, a foundation specialist should inspect your home.

They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering compared to concrete or asphalt.
