Tennyson Construction - Wet Basement Specialists is the leading basement waterproofing and foundation repair company in Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. In business since 1981, they have worked in over 4,200 basements. Our interior tiling system to repair wet basements is backed by our transferable warranty, transferable to future owners of the home. If the basement foundation has problems (cracked, buckled or bowed basement walls), Tennyson Construction can straighten, brace, repair or replace basement and foundation problems. We offer no obligation free estimates with no high pressure sales tactics. We examine what is going on, tell you what we would do to fix the problems, bid the project, and leave the decision up to you. We do our own work, without any subcontractors. We feel one of our biggest advantages of Tennyson Construction is that we are not a Franchise business (we can tailor the right solution to each type of basement problem - no incentive to push products and services that may not be needed to meet franchise quotas). The second is that we specialize in working in basements, so our focus is always on the basement problems and solutions to those problems. The third is we back our work. Finally, most of our customers' projects begin with referrals from other customers, real estate agents, building officials, insurance agents, cleaning companies, and plumbers. Our projects are done in less than four days with qualified basement professionals. If our proposals are accepted, usual payment for those projects is done upon completion. Our company takes pride in its work, and we are proud of our small-town, locally-owned, family-owned business. Our employees really enjoy working with customers, as they see the joy that a family has when they get to enjoy their basement even more after our work.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes. Black stains are more than an eyesore. Some black stains can pose health concerns, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Some stains can also damage the brick’s structural integrity, harming the mortar and resulting in more expensive repairs.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

Yes, you can enlarge windows in a brick house. Your masonry contractor will need to cut away exterior brick to make space for the larger window, and you may also need to consult a structural engineer to make sure the window is properly supported inside the frame of the house.

You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.
