"I called JES Foundation Company for a free inspection of my crawl space. I was concerned about a crack in my foundation wall. JES inspector Richard Sheman Showed up to inspect my foundation. He sent a text with the time of his arrival. He was pleasant and on time. He went into my crawlspace and inspected the crack in the wall and stated I had nothing to worry about. He was very knowledgeable about the foundation and itâ  s structure. He explain to me how I could fix the superficial settling crack and save a bunch of money. I appreciate the honesty of the business and I would recommend it to anyone who had the same concerns, and for any of their other services. Ron P Home owner."

"I was very pleased with the work that was done. Chris and TJ were very professional. They arrived on time every day and made sure things were tidy when they left. They showed me what the three man crew had accomplished each day and informed me of their plans for the following day. Part of the waterproofing job involved a facelift on the cement basement walkout on the side of my house. Joe, who has 30 years of experience with the company, completed this part of the job and I was extremely pleased with the result. Basement waterproofing is expensive, but I felt that I got my money's worth. Everyone who has entered my basement since the job was completed, from my son-in-law to technicians working on my plumbing and heating systems, have commented that I had it done right. It is wonderful to finally have a bone dry basement. I have recommended Basement Waterproofing Nationwide to my neighbors whose home are the same vintage as mine and have been plagued for years by dampness and water in their basements."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

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.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.
