"Pivotal was contacted about porch pillar shifting. Jeff was exceptionally prompt and communicative. He drove out to look at the site...which was a 30 min. drive. He called the day of the appt. and said he might be a little late...(very thoughtful). After looking at it, he suggested a simpler and less expensive solution. I didn't think there were contractors like this around anymore. I would not hesitate to hire him....he's pretty rare."

"I am very pleased with the work done by Greentree Waterproofing and would recommend them to anyone. They were very responsive. I called on a Monday morning after having water in our basement since the previous Saturday and within two hours an inspector was at our home to give us an estimate on the work needed. A crew arrived the following Monday and by Wednesday afternoon the work was done. Previous to this work being done, we always had water in our sump pump and it ran almost daily. Since Greentree did their work, we haven't heard the sump run and the pit is dry. Very impressed with the work and would use them again."

"Called company on Monday and got an appointment for an inspection on Wednesday. That following Monday, the technician arrived and went through each step is sealing off the concrete foundation to the water leak. The fix worked well and was put to the test with the recent record rains. Not one drop of water came into the basement."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Color-mismatched mortar joints clearly indicate a poor previous repair that requires redoing. If you notice cracks reappearing along the exact same mortar joints, the original contractor failed to address the underlying soil movement in Bloomington. Hollow-sounding bricks and bulging exterior walls also signal severe structural failures. Finally, recurring efflorescence means the previous masonry repair ignored the root drainage issue, trapping moisture inside the wall.

Helpful?

Masonry work requires annual inspections of mortar joints and post-winter checks for new cracks. You must schedule chimney crown inspections every year to prevent water infiltration during harsh IL winters. Clear your weep holes in the spring to stop moisture accumulation behind brick walls. Additionally, maintain your gutters to prevent overflow, and apply masonry sealant every five to seven years to protect your block foundations.

Helpful?

As a new homeowner in Bloomington, prioritize tuckpointing and mortar joint repair, especially if you own a pre-1960s brick home. You should also schedule a foundation inspection and foundation repair to address cracks caused by shifting clay soils. Finally, inspect your chimney and retaining walls before winter. Illinois freeze-thaw cycles accelerate masonry deterioration, so addressing these issues early keeps your home structurally sound and safe.

Helpful?

If your bricks are crumbling, cracking, or spalling, you need masonry repair. Spalling brick is a frequent masonry issue caused by harsh Bloomington winters. However, if your masonry looks intact but water still enters your basement, hire a waterproofing contractor to fix your drainage system. Stair-step cracks in exterior walls require masonry work, while isolated cracks near a downspout indicate a landscaping or gutter issue.

Helpful?

You have several options for hiring professionals to handle masonry work in IL. General masonry contractors manage tuckpointing, brick repair, and block foundation work. Certified chimney specialists focus strictly on chimney inspection and chimney repair. Foundation repair contractors address structural issues caused by expansive clay soils, while concrete contractors handle driveways and patios. General contractors also manage full projects involving extensive structural masonry work.
