Old work costs more per hour than new construction. We say so upfront.
Foundation problems aren't uniform across Wyandotte — each neighborhood has its own pattern.
Repair, almost always. Stone foundations are repairable indefinitely with proper tuckpointing, parging, and water management. Replacement is usually unnecessary unless there's actual structural collapse, which is rare. We've worked on 1890s-era Wyandotte homes that are still going strong.
Wyandotte has a Historic District Commission that may approve grant or low-interest loan programs for qualified historic structures. We can provide the technical documentation those applications require. Start with the City of Wyandotte at wyandotte.net.
Old masonry foundations absorb moisture even when there's no active leak — water vapor migrates through stone and brick continuously. Without a vapor barrier or dehumidifier, that moisture evaporates into your basement air and creates the smell. Solution is usually an interior parge coat plus a basement-rated dehumidifier.
