A stone foundation is generally made of large stones and the mortar holding them together, much like a stone wall. Though not common in newer buildings, stone foundations were popular pre-WWI and are mostly found today in older farmhouses and historical buildings.
Usually built from non-uniform sandstone or limestone, they are aesthetically pleasing and generally reliable and sturdy — but after a century or more, the mortar needs attention. Drag the slider to see the difference our repairs make.

Stone Foundation Problems
Most problems center on mortar decay and water leakage — these foundations are over 100 years old. Symptoms include cracked plaster, sloping floors, or general dampness. A quick visual check can reveal bulging, bowing, or shifting stone.
These repairs must be handled by an experienced professional stonemason, not an average foundation-repair or waterproofing company. We have a keen eye for historical preservation and stonemasonry, so we can repair your stone foundation and make it look like the day it was constructed.
