Masonry Foundation Repair & Waterproofing

Your foundation literally holds up everything in your home. When cracks appear or water starts seeping in, these are not problems you can ignore. Foundation damage gets worse over time, and the cost of repairs increases the longer you wait. We have seen minor cracks turn into major structural issues that could have been fixed easily if caught early.

MFY Menifee Masonry specializes in masonry foundation repairs that address both the visible damage and the underlying causes. We do not just patch cracks and walk away. We figure out why the damage happened and fix it properly so it does not come back. That means looking at drainage, soil conditions, and structural loads to understand the complete picture.

Foundation waterproofing is equally important for Menifee homeowners. Water intrusion causes mold growth, damages stored items, and weakens foundation materials over time. It also creates a damp environment that attracts pests and makes your home less comfortable. Proper waterproofing protects your foundation from moisture damage and keeps your basement or crawl space dry year-round.

We also handle foundation issues related to retaining wall failures, where improper drainage or structural problems with nearby walls affect your foundation. Everything in your property is connected, and we look at the whole system when diagnosing foundation problems.

Every foundation repair starts with a thorough inspection. We need to understand what is happening beneath the surface before we recommend solutions. During our site visit, we examine cracks, measure any movement or settlement, check for water damage, and assess the overall condition of your foundation. We also look at exterior factors like grading, drainage, and nearby structures that might contribute to problems.

For crack repairs, we use professional-grade epoxy or polyurethane injection systems that create permanent bonds stronger than the surrounding concrete or masonry. These materials fill cracks completely and seal out moisture. Surface patches might look good temporarily, but they do not address the structural issue. Our repairs restore strength to damaged areas.

Waterproofing involves multiple layers of protection. We apply waterproof membranes to foundation walls, install or improve drainage systems, seal joints and penetrations, and ensure proper grading directs water away from your foundation. Sometimes we also recommend installing sump pumps or French drains to handle groundwater issues. The goal is creating a comprehensive system that keeps water out permanently.

When brick or block foundations need rebuilding, we carefully remove damaged sections and reconstruct them using modern materials and techniques. This might involve replacing deteriorated bricks, rebuilding portions of foundation wall, or installing steel reinforcement for added strength. We match existing materials as closely as possible so repairs blend seamlessly with original construction.
