FOUNDATION RESTORATIOn

Thompson Crowley Masonry Inc.

To restore a historic stone foundation in New England one must first be familiar with Colonial architecture and period correct building materials. At Thompson Crowley Masonry  we specialize in Historic stone foundation restoration and have spent years in the preservation of local Massachusetts first period and early construction stone foundations. 

    

Early settlers used locally sourced stone with imported materials before manufacturing began in Massachusetts.   Masons took advantage of our rocky terrain and used field stone and later quarried granite. Brick manufacturing began in Salem and Melrose the first of American history in the mid 1600's.     


There was no shortage of Elaborate estates and mansions. They were being built with fine architecture in Old Salem Village today Salem , Danvers, Beverly and Peabody area. Homes built with full resources used stone for foundation base and solid brick above grade for a more rich look that allowed for more exacting construction. Poorer settlements used stacked stone and often rubble with large bodies of mortar in the foundation walls. 


 Foundations fell in to two classes. First is situations where the soil or stratum is sufficient and firm enough to bear the weight of the structure. Second foundations is where artificial supports or foundation walls must be added in consequence of the softness of the soil.    Buildings or homes built with the best conditions and materials have stood the test of time. Often only the stones and brick remains and time has washed out or softened the masonry bonding agent. Homes built with stone and brick foundations are all at different periods of deterioration.   

 Settling or soft clay causes cracks in the mortar. Below grade ground water over the years causes masonry cement to loose its bonding ability and dry out. First period Colonial homes foundations were built with lime, washed sand or clay. Washed sand was better suited for masonry and tends to last far longer than foundations with clay. Almost all homes used a lime coating on the inside or white washing. Several coatings of lime were used to achieve a waterproof basement.      


 Today our company interrupts deterioration of your foundation. By professionally restoring and preserving stone, lime mortar and brick foundation walls to a better than new basement. Traditional period correct mortars along with advancements in masonry materials and available building supplies allows us to make a full restoration.

Foundation Restoration

Foundation restoration of stone and brick foundations traditionally seen in Salem, Danvers, Beverly area to Boston are built with Masonry.

Masonry is a learned profession with knowledge of brick laying, stone setting and masonry cements to mention a few things.


 Building brick stairs is different than a wall or stone foundations. Stairs have foot traffic and frost heaves to contend with. Retaining walls have back pressure and ground supports.

 

 Foundations require knowledge of bearing points, back pressure, sill spans, exterior grade, mortars, bricks and natural stones. Load pressure of the home or building and material compression strength. Not to mention water issues and foundation waterproofing.


 Thompson Crowley Masonry is fortunate to have decades of family masonry experience.  Years of material use and job pricing. Having looked at thousands of jobs and completing thousands of jobs. We can quickly identify the problem of failing masonry and more importantly the cause. Identifying the cause of foundation problems or masonry repairs allows us to offer cost effective solutions.

 

Foundation restoration with masonry repairs consist of brick repair, lime mortar repairs, lime coating repairs, stone setting and re-mortaring, of stone or bricks. 

The masonry repairs are the vital aspect of foundation repairs. 


 By professionally repairing brick, stone and mortar we are repairing the structure of the foundation. Having the the structural integrity restored we can then begin lime coatings and waterproofing to preserve your foundation for years to come.
