"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."

"Excellent quality of work and customer care. Great value offered and very satisfied with the end result. We addressed an 80 foot piece of fence with river rock (8 tons) and it looks great. They also built us a patio with brick pavers. It looks great as well. Would hire again and recommend to anyone looking for professional landscaping and hardscaping."

"If Don ever wants to stop busting concrete & digging for a living (but I hope he doesn't), he could go into business consulting on Customer Service. It's great that our basement stays dry for the first time since we moved in over 30 years ago, but what blew me away was how good he was at everything contractors aren't generally known for: *Responded immediately to request for quote. *Followed exactly when I asked him to (wanted to wait a couple of months to schedule). *Then when I was ready to start, called when he had an opening & started our project EARLY. *On site personally every day. *Started every day by telling me what they were going to do & asked if I had any questions. *Cleaned up site every day, then told me what they'd done, would do next day, & asked again if we had any questions. *His crew was very good & reflected his customer relations skills. Can't recommend him highly enough!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Start planning your masonry work by securing required building permits for structural projects like new foundations or retaining walls. You must ensure all plans comply with the Illinois Building Code. Schedule the project between late April and October to prevent freezing temperatures from ruining the mortar. Always contact the local utility locating service before any digging begins, and check your neighborhood guidelines for specific material or height restrictions in Decatur.

Helpful?

Watch for stair-step cracking in brick or block, which signals foundation settlement in IL clay soils. Mortar deterioration deeper than a quarter inch allows water to channel directly into the wall system. Reappearing efflorescence indicates an active moisture intrusion problem that requires immediate attention. Bowing basement walls and leaning chimneys are serious structural hazards. Address these masonry work issues promptly to prevent accelerating damage and total brick failure.

Helpful?

The age of your Decatur home strongly impacts masonry work. Homes built before 1950 feature soft historic brick that requires specialized mortar to prevent surface damage. A limestone foundation also demands specific expertise to handle moisture sensitivity safely. Crawl spaces limit access for foundation repairs, while steep roof pitches require specialized staging for chimney access. Inspect the transition points between original brick structures and newer wood-frame additions for complex structural issues.

Helpful?

Completing masonry work significantly improves your home's curb appeal and inspection outcomes in the Decatur market. Proactively addressing foundation cracks, deteriorated mortar, and chimney damage prevents delayed closings and removes major obstacles for buyers. Restoring historic brick with period-correct materials holds high value for buyers seeking older homes. Upgrading these exterior elements protects the structural integrity of your property while making a strong impression on prospective buyers.

Helpful?

To keep your home protected from harsh IL winters, masonry work requires routine tuckpointing. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles cause mortar to crack, making prompt repairs essential. You should also address efflorescence, which appears as white salt deposits on brick surfaces. Inspect for cracks every spring, seal your foundation to block moisture from clay-heavy soil, and clear drainage paths to prevent standing water from accelerating deterioration.
