Plus 10 years of inflation on that 600

You guys work at Lynn?

Have you ever had to deal with stone foundation walls that the owner had closed cell spray insulation applied to them and if so what were the problems besides the lime mortar disintegrating?

Where is your office?

CAN I APPLY A SMALL AMMMOUNT OF TYPE S MORTAR ON TOP OF AN ALREADY FINISHED FOUNDATION THAT HAS TYPE S? SOME BROKE AND GOT SMALL AMMOUNT OF CONCRETE SPILLED ON AFTER IT WAS FINISHED. SO NOW THERES GREY ON WHITE. SMALL AREA. LIKE 4X6 WALL

Waterproofing should be done on the foundation exterior. Doing it on the interior without the exterior will cause water saturation and damage the stones. Also ideally you would use a lime/sand mortar (no cement) but a cement-based type N mortar would be OK too (it's soft enough to allow the rocks to shift naturally without crushing them). A lime/sand mortar wicks moisture and protects the stone the best but is weak and may need more frequent replacing.

What is the product that you used for this?

very well done....

Does the waterproof coating come in other colors? Maybe a more natural stone gray? Is there such thing as a clear coat to preserve the look of the natural stone underneath? Thank you!

Can you paint over the cement based coating?

When are you going to start servicing St. Louis?😩😫😫who can you vouch for here for me to use? My home is from 1920 & have no idea if it’s limestone or not?!🙄

Do you service parta of new Hampshire, I'm up in Pittsfield NH and need to have my basement field stone foundation looked at

Do you ever dig down to the bottom (not below) of the foundation on the exterior and do a parge coat and then add some kind of membrane that leads to a french drain to divert water?

Using cement is NOT done right. Should be lime and sand only. The damage you've done will be extensive.

I just fixed this bulkhead

I THOUGHT AND READ U SHOULD NEVER NEVER USE HIGH STRENGTH CEMENT BUT A MIXTURE OF LIMESTONE AND SAND?????

How much for this job $15,000

what sealing product do you use?

What exactly did you do to repair that crack?

Do you service the Milford, CT area?

I like what you did here but you mentioned that waterproofing should be done from the inside and not the outside. What if water is pooling at the bottom of your foundation? Not as a result of a downspout but because your home is on lower ground. Wouldn’t something like a french drain be applicable then?

I would be pissed if I was the home owner. Distroyed the rock wall look. How about outside correcting the real problem?

What did u use to close those cracks on the baesment floor? Did u paint it after it?

I know it's 5 years old now but looks like a great repair guys. Can I ask what the mortar/concrete mix/ compound you're using? I have a house built in 1892 with a field stone basement. Not nearly in need of repair as much as this video, but definitely needs to be cleaned, power washed and have new mortar in spots. Which I'd like to do myself but not sure what I need to buy for material/compound for pointing it.

my basement looks exactly like this and after lot of research I am going to repoint with lime mortar.Previous owners already did some damage with portland cement but I'll try to work around it. My issue with this job is trapped water inside walls and probably causing more damage in the long run.It is my understanding that mortar should be weaker then stone and cement gets harder then fileld stone overtime destroying the stone.

what is the name of the high strength mortar?

Type S mortar is the best to use around fieldstone. It’s two parts Portland and strong with hydrated lime. All masonry contains lime, choosing the proper mortar is key

3 and half sharpe sand with 1 dry-mixed natural hydraulic lime. Pack with small pebbles stone's.

How much would a job identical to this typically cost?

done right my arse! never use cement on stone walls, it's rule number 1!

Hi, I've been watching many mason videos in hopes of learning how to do what you are doing in the video here. As soon as I heard your voice, I said to myself, this guy is local as I recognized our Boston/New England accent. So here is my story. I am a 67 year old woman who tries to do as much as I'm capable of doing myself. The basement you are working on is very much like mine. I've started digging out in between the stones and cement. I've got approximately 4x4 area done. Clearly I've taken on more than I'm capable of. HELP!!!! Are you able to tell me what that job cost the homeownet? Since mine is in the same condition and close in dementions, it would, at the very least give me ball park number to think about! I will go to your web site and read more of your services.

Do-it-your-selfers need to see how it's done, which is not shown. This is not useful for us.

OMG, cement based coating??? That destroyed the whole thing...

I am disappointed at the results. I like the power washed wall, with "natural" look, but after your work, mostly covered by your cement....

Professional vs amateur! nice work

Looks like needs more poxy.. still see the cracks..

The biggest problem I see is these new builders you terrible concrete guys the foundation is the base of the house and in my last 4 years of building custom houses the foundations are garbage I mean worst shimmy up to 5/8 of an inch on these foundations is terrible

This is NOT the way to waterproof this type of basement foundation! OMG!!! That interior coating will crack in no time and start breaking off when water pressure presses against it, especially if dealing in areas where you get freezing temperatures. Best waterproofing is done from the outside with an exterior coating, preferably mastic. This video is bad advice.

water will go down exterior saturating wall continuing under wall and perculating up through floor . absolutely absurd to state that it will last 200 yrs and the warranty 30 yrs means he will be out of business the problem with the wall needs to be addressed from the outside [e... excavate do what this young man did on the inside on the outsdide only with a different mix . drain tile pea gravel backfill pitch grade gutters and downspouts than it will last 100 yrs............ the truth will displace

so all you are doing is trapping all the moisture in the walls and cracks? That make sense

THIS IS JUST AN ADVERTISEMENT AND DOESN'T TELL YOU HOW TO DO ANYTHING.

What's A job like that roughly cost ???

If small 3 or 4 foot sections are dug straight down on the outside and sealed and filled with concrete would that work? I understand the idea of the outside dirt pressing against the foundation holding foundation in place so would small sections of sealing and concrete reinforce the foundation and prevent water seepage?

What!!!!??????? sealed water in???!!!!! Cement and acid rain will eat your stone walls.

You can not use mortar that is harder than the stone you are using, that is a basic rule of masonry. Limestone can not stand up to modern cement. The stones will crack, and all you will have left is the mortar.

is it possible to give me a rough estimate of a 24 ft x 50 ft foundation repair with adding a cement floor over a dirt floor? I am considering buying a home that needs this and want to know how much it might cost.

I want to purchase a 1940 home with fieldstone foundation (basement) there is a huge rock and I was wondering if I should just keep searching for homes or purchase and fix it myself.

looks good.

volume all the way up cant hear shit man

maybe its me, but i think you should speak a little louder
