If you own a historic home in Medford, your foundation is more than just a structural base—it’s a piece of local history. At Thompson Crowley Masonry Inc., we specialize in the preservation and waterproofing of traditional stone and brick foundations. With three generations of local experience, we provide Medford homeowners with permanent solutions for crumbling mortar, basement leaks, and structural decay.

Most older homes in Medford were constructed using fieldstone foundations bonded with lime-based mortar. Over decades, ground moisture and freeze-thaw cycles cause this mortar to dissolve, leading to:



We don't just "patch" holes; we restore the integrity of your foundation using period-correct materials and modern waterproofing techniques.
We remove failing, sandy mortar and replace it with lime-fortified mortar. Unlike modern Portland cement—which is too rigid and can cause old stones to crack—our lime mixtures allow your foundation to "breathe" and move naturally with the seasons.
Once the structural joints are stabilized, we apply a multi-stage sealant.
From replacing "soft" bricks damaged by frost to stabilizing shifting fieldstones, our team ensures your home stays level and secure for the next generation.
"We complete stone foundation restorations every week of the year. Our deep insight into Medford’s specific soil conditions and architectural styles allows us to offer the most competitive, fair-market pricing in the industry."
