Cracks in your foundation? Don’t wait until a small repair becomes a big one.

Not every crack means you need a major foundation project. Many foundation and block problems can be repaired before they get worse.

This is a job we’ll be working on soon. Some of the steel bracing installed on this basement wall has failed.

Here’s the problem with treating bracing as the whole solution: it doesn’t address what caused the wall to move in the first place.

If water, soil pressure, drainage problems or a compromised wall caused the movement, we want to identify and correct that underlying problem—not simply brace the symptoms and walk away.

Our approach is to determine WHY the wall failed, address the water and exterior conditions contributing to it, and repair or rebuild the masonry where necessary.

Don’t buy a repair method just because a salesman says it’s the answer.

Fix the cause. Then fix the damage.

FOUNDATION PROBLEMS DON’T ALWAYS REQUIRE A $20,000 REPAIR.

Cracked block? A section of foundation failing? Water getting in? Mortar deteriorating?

Sometimes the problem is localized—and the right repair can address the damaged area without rebuilding or waterproofing an entire foundation.

At Howell Masonry and Restoration, we repair foundation problems from the outside where the problem starts.

We handle:

• Cracked and deteriorated block
• Localized foundation failures
• Bowing or displaced masonry
• Water-related foundation damage
• Exterior excavation and waterproofing
• Drainage problems around foundations

We’ll look at what’s actually happening and recommend the repair that makes sense for your home—not automatically sell you the biggest possible job.

📍 Serving Maysville and surrounding communities.
