Project Overview:
This project involved restoring a basement walkout entrance and addressing moisture infiltration issues in a classic Chicago brick home. The lower-level entryway showed signs of water seepage and aging concrete, while nearby brickwork required repair and waterproofing.
Scope of Work:
- Removed deteriorated masonry and patched concrete.
- Rebuilt the walkout stair structure with fresh concrete coating.
- Sealed cracks and added proper drainage at the stair base.
- Repointed and replaced damaged face bricks under window bays.
- Applied waterproofing to prevent future seepage into the basement.
Results:
The final result is a cleaner, structurally sound walkout with enhanced moisture protection and improved curb appeal. The updated concrete finish, restored brick façade, and vibrant landscaping highlight both function and beauty.
