Sureset Masonry And Construction | Waterproofing & Roofing in Boston, MA 02113

Overflowing gutters are a frequent issue here, often caused by clogs from our dense tree canopy, improper pitch, or undersized systems. Our process starts with a thorough inspection to diagnose the root cause. We typically recommend professional gutter cleaning and, if needed, repair or replacement with larger-capacity gutters correctly pitched away from your foundation. For a lasting fix, we can also add gutter guards and ensure your downspouts extend sufficiently to direct water well away from your home's perimeter, protecting your basement and foundation from water damage.

Absolutely. As a full-service masonry and waterproofing contractor, we handle the entire project from the ground up. We construct durable patios, walkways, and retaining walls using quality materials and techniques suited for our freeze-thaw cycles. Crucially, we integrate waterproofing and proper sealing from the start, including moisture barriers and correct grading, to prevent water from seeping underneath and causing heaving or cracks. This comprehensive approach ensures your new hardscape is not only beautiful but built to last through Boston's harsh winters and wet springs.

Our detailed roof inspection examines all critical components: shingles, flashing, vents, skylights, and, importantly, the gutter and drainage system. We specifically check for issues that lead to moisture problems under slabs and behind walls, which are common concerns in our area. By managing both the construction and the protection, we guarantee a unified result with a single point of responsibility.

Our roof inspection is detailed and preventative. We examine shingles, flashing, vents, and, critically, the gutters, downspouts, and roof valleys where overflow often begins. Since roof drainage problems are a primary cause of basement water issues in Boston, we trace the entire water path. If we find faults like clogged gutters or improper drainage that could send water toward your foundation, we explain the direct connection. This allows us to address the roof problem and recommend any necessary basement waterproofing measures, like sump pump installation or exterior sealing, as a coordinated defense for your entire home.
