Stone Foundations, Century-Old Moisture

Chevy Chase's 1920s colonials often sit on stone or early block foundations — sturdy, and porous. A hundred years of ground moisture has moved through those walls. The homes are landmarks; their crawl spaces are time capsules of every damp decade.

Preservation-Minded Work

Chevy Chase homeowners care about doing things properly, and so do we. Encapsulation here is about preservation: drying out the space so the original framing — old-growth lumber you cannot replace — lasts another century. We document everything and explain every step.

What We See Most Here

Stone foundations with open joints wicking moisture. Original coal bins converted to dead crawl pockets. Beautiful framing with surface mold that cleans up to reveal sound wood. And large crawl spaces with distinct wet and dry zones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our foundation is stone. Can you really seal against it?

Yes. We line and seal against stone foundations regularly — the liner runs up the wall and gets fastened and sealed. The stone stays; the moisture stops.

Is the old framing worth saving?

Almost always. 1920s old-growth lumber is denser and more rot-resistant than anything milled today. Dry it out and it will outlast us all.
