Job completed for Todd M

Completion date: February 11, 2025

Location: Philadelphia, PA

Why did the customer contact us?

In Philadelphia, many homes, especially those built in the early 20th century, feature basements with stone walls. Over time, these walls often experience deterioration due to moisture, and age-related wear. Crumbling basement walls can lead to structural issues, mold growth, water seepage, and reduced property value. Homeowners typically face these issues due to the region’s high humid climate in the summer months ..

What challenges did we face?

One challenge to restore these crumbling walls is the use of wire mesh (often referred to as wire lath) and Portland cement to provide strength, stability, and moisture resistance. This technique is especially useful in homes that have experienced significant water damage or where traditional masonry repairs have failed.

Solutions provided:

Ryan Bond’s recommendation to use rough-casting for the foundation damaged areas and install a sump pump and french drain drainage system effectively addressed both the structural and moisture issues in the basement. This solution not only restored the stability and integrity of the basement walls but also prevented future water damage, offering the homeowner a cost-effective and lasting fix to their foundation problems.

End results was a five star review !!!
