Parging, the thin coat of cement that covers many foundations is an important aspect of your home. Especially important with block foundations, parging helps to waterproof the block and protect exposed joints. As you can see in the picture below, the parging on this foundation has cracked and fallen off over time leaving the block open to damage.
The two pictures below show the progression of the repair including the preparation work and the replacement of the damaged block. Attention to detail is very important in repairs at ground level. A lot of heat is lost at the joint between your house and its foundation, so the proper approach in necessary when undertaking any foundation work. Notice the forms that are securely fastened to the foundation allowing for a thicker and level coating.
The completed job looks as good if not better than new. Notice that the downspout is installed to take roof water away from the foundation.
