"I was not there during the work; however, the project manager was Great, he provided a daily progress report every evening. Texted photos of the project in different stages of their progress. He alerted me when there was an issue and provided sound recommendations and options. He stayed in budget but did not sacrifice quality and workmenship. General Background: The purpose of the project was leveling the house. The house was built on a crawl space about 30 years ago. Because the house was on a crawl space and the distance from the ground to the house was about two blocks high or about 22 inches high, a tunnel rat could not fit into that space to obtain an accurate assessment of the foundation issue. I know, I was a tunnel rat during one of my tours in Vietnam. Mount Valley Foundation Services project manager could only give me an estimate of the foundation issue. Based on his experience, he provided a very good estimate what was wrong and what it would take to level the house and cost. What that meant was they would have to tear out the subflooring exposing the crawl space area. Every room offered a new surprise; however, the project manager was on target regarding his assessment. I was very impressed regarding their workers, starting the project on time, they cleaned up the area before leaving every day. I am very glad I hired them to do this job. John Thomas"

"We chose CrawlSpace Medic based on professionalism, reliability, reasonable cost estimate, and previous reviews on Angie’s List. Each day the crew showed up on time, worked hard all day, and cleaned up at end of each day; were respectful of property, and very professional, and pleasant to work with. They kept us informed of progress, and what was being done each day. During removal of old piping, they found additional damage behind the pipes that was not visible/identified during initial inspection- were very reasonable with determining the additional cost. They replaced damaged sills, old rotted floor joists, installed permanent support girders with masonry piers, installed a 10ml plastic vapor barrier, and installed multiple foundation vents. We are very satisfied with the results. Our floors are no longer bouncy, and floors feel very sturdy- was a dramatic difference after work completed. The 10 ml plastic Vapor barrier also has prevented that old damp smell inside the house after heavy rains. Was a good experience, and reasonable cost-(initial estimate $10,400, additional work required and we added foundation vent installation was $3800); would hire again."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.

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.
