"They saved my foundation and did a great job coordinating with me and my wife to get the job done they were friendly and courteous and easy to work with. Thank you."
"My very old farmhouse was definitely showing its age! The west foundation wall was caving in and there was water in the basement. Repairs were needed immediately. Hitman Solutions and Dell Phillips came to my rescue! Their solution to the problem was creative and effective. Unfortunately I was out of town caring for my sister during the repairs. So Dell sent me photos and updates daily. What a wonderful group to work with! I have nothing but praise for Dell and Hitman Solutions! Linda Morris"

"These guys are wonderful. They even answered some questions unrelated to the work I hired them for. I totally recommend them for your concrete/masonry needs. I hired them to do some tuck pointing and mold removal on my rental property. They did an amazing job, the guys were courteous and respectful, and the price definitely made me happy!"
"I contacted Indiana Foundation to check my foundation and crawl space due to a crack in my brick wall. I received a thorough inspection, The rep showed me pictures of the findings and provided an understandable explanation regarding the condition of the foundation and the crawl space. I contracted with Indiana Foundation for push piers to stabilize and raise the foundation. They completed most of the project this week. They we unable to complete one side of the house because the natural gas line is right next to the foundation. When the gas company moves the line the remainder of the project can be competed. I received excellent service by foreman Charles and all the work crew; Daniel, Ryder, Ross, and Pete. They were efficient completing the work. Charles was especially excellent with his communication, keeping me informed during the days of work by the crew."

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.
Common causes include weather exposure, moisture, and settling. Regular maintenance prevents significant damage.
Discoloration ondifferent types of brick can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss.
A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide.
Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.
Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.
