Foundation
One of the many services that we offer here at Sarnia Masonry is foundation repairs. The foundation of a house is one of the most important aspects of the structure. The foundation supports the entire weight of the house and everything inside it. It is what keeps the house standing during high winds and severe weather.
Because of this, it is important to have a foundation that is in good condition. If there are any problems with the foundation such as crumbling, flaking, spalling concrete, and/or peeling floors/walls, or cracks, they should be repaired as soon as possible. Typically, the foundation of a home is built using concrete. |

Needless to say, the foundation of a home is what will support your home. The foundation bears the weight of your house, and without a strong, durable foundation, your house can become unstable. Foundation repair can be expensive, but it is often necessary to prevent further damage to your home. Ignoring foundation problems can lead to larger and more expensive repairs down the road. Taking care of your home's backbone is one of the best ways to ensure the stability and longevity of your entire house.
If there is a crack in your property's basement and it is left untreated, your home's foundation can be more susceptible to water leakages and unwanted moisture. When moisture creeps into your home, it can cause costly damage to your home. Moisture can quickly weaken your home's overall structure, so it is important that you do the necessary to ensure that moisture has no way of making its way into your home. Similarly, if water leaks into your home through foundation cracks, not only can your basement start to flood but mold can also grow especially when combined with unwanted moisture. At Sarnia Masonry, we pride ourselves on using the best tools and techniques to combat and fix any cracks, water leakage, flaking, spalling concrete, or peeling floors/walls that are affecting your foundation. Parging is one technique, we may use if required to restore your basement. Parging is a process in which a thin layer of mortar is applied to a wall in order to create a smooth surface. Parging can also be used to repair cracks and damaged areas of basement walls. In addition, parging can help to limit water penetration, provide a barrier against moisture and pests, and improve the overall appearance of the wall. While parging is not required for all walls, it can be an important step in prolonging the life of the wall and ensuring that it looks its best. For these reasons, parging is a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings. We understand that a house is a big investment and we want to help you protect your investment by ensuring that your foundation is in good condition. Contact us today to book a FREE consultation.
