What Are Historical Foundations?

Homes built before the mid-1900s often rest on materials such as:

Fieldstone or Rubble Stone
Limestone or Sandstone Blocks
Brick and Mortar
Unreinforced Concrete or Clay

While beautiful and enduring, these foundations are vulnerable to moisture damage, soil movement, and long-term wear.

Common Issues We Address

If your home has a historical foundation, look out for:

Cracked or bowing stone walls
Water intrusion or damp basements
Mortar erosion or crumbling joints
Uneven floors or sinking corners
Stone displacement or bulging walls

These problems threaten both safety and historic value if ignored.
