JCM Paving and Masonry | Masonry/Concrete & Roofing in Waltham, MA 02453

Winter weather in Waltham often leads to ice dams and snow melt that can cause significant roof and gutter damage. We address this by first conducting a thorough inspection to locate leaks and assess gutter and flashing integrity. Our repair process typically involves sealing leaks, replacing damaged shingles or sections of flat roofing, and ensuring proper attic ventilation and insulation to prevent future ice dam formation. We also clean, repair, or replace gutters to ensure proper drainage away from your foundation, creating a complete system to handle our local freeze-thaw cycles.

Absolutely. We specialize in masonry and concrete repair, including fixing cracks in driveways, walkways, and home foundations. For surface cracks, we use specialized sealants. For structural cracks in foundations, we employ techniques like epoxy injection to restore strength and then apply waterproofing membranes or sealants to prevent water intrusion, which is crucial for maintaining a stable foundation. This repair is often part of our broader foundation waterproofing and stabilization services.

Our foundation waterproofing is a comprehensive approach to protect your home's base from water damage. The process starts with an assessment of any cracks, leaks, or drainage issues. We then implement solutions such as installing exterior waterproof membranes, repairing cracks with epoxy, sealing joints, and installing or improving drainage systems like French drains. For homes with basements or below-grade spaces, this is essential to prevent moisture, mold, and structural issues, especially in areas with variable New England weather.
