Egress Window Install — Wrapped Up Today

Just wrapped up this egress window install! We'll be adding another Monday morning plus the special-order caps, and our drywall guys will be in next week for the interior finish. An egress window isn't just about code — it adds natural light and real value to the home, creates a safe exit, and helps protect against water issues when done right. If your basement feels dark, damp, or outdated, this is one of the best upgrades you can make. We handle everything: excavation, proper drainage, clean professional install. 📍 Locally owned. Built on honesty. Done right the first time. Call Cornerstone at (812) 850-5320 and let's get your next project scheduled! Originally posted on Facebook · facebook.com/CornerstoneFAW

Liquid Stone Saved Us on a Tight Clarksville Week

We've had the chance to use Liquid Stone here in Clarksville a couple times this week on some smaller projects, and they've been solid to work with. They can handle loads up to around 10 yards, but where they really shine is those smaller 2–4 yard pours — perfect for tight jobs or when you don't want to pay for a full truck. Good pricing, and the best part is the truck mixes on-site, so you're only paying for what you actually use. No waste. Always good to have another reliable option in the area.

Storm Response

🌧️ Heavy Rain Coming — Is Your Home Ready?

Heavy rain in the forecast is a good reminder to check the basics around your home. Clean gutters and downspouts, make sure water is routed away from the foundation, look for low spots in the yard where water pools near the house, and check the basement or crawl space before and after the storm. Little things keep little problems little. If you're seeing water where it shouldn't be or you're not sure how your home is going to handle the next downpour, give us a call — (812) 850-5320. Free inspection, no pressure. Originally posted on Facebook · facebook.com/CornerstoneFAW

Stucco Application — Exterior Work

Worked on an exterior stucco application this week. Proper prep is everything with stucco — the base coat, lath, and weather barrier underneath determine whether the stucco lasts 30 years or starts failing in 5.

This Week: 16'×20' Picture-Frame Patio with Walkway

Wrapped up a concrete patio and walkway project this week — 16'×20' of broom-finish concrete with a decorative picture-frame border. The picture-frame technique creates a clean visual edge and also acts as a control joint to direct where shrinkage cracks form over time. Full sub-base prep below the slab — because the concrete on top is only as good as what's under it. That's why we over-spec the base on every pour.

Retaining Wall Rebuild — 6' Tall, 25' Long

Old retaining wall was failing — bulging, cracked, and letting soil migrate through. Customer had been watching it get worse for a couple of years. We tore it out, excavated back to stable soil, and rebuilt from scratch with a segmental block system. Proper compacted base, drainage behind the wall, and a finished cap. Should be good for the next several decades.

Brick Stairway Tuckpointing — Bringing a 50-Year Stairway Back

Aging brick stairway with crumbling mortar joints. Instead of rebuilding (expensive, destroys character), we tuckpointed it — ground out the old mortar, repacked with color-matched mix, and sealed it up. Tuckpointing is one of the highest-leverage masonry repairs. A $X,XXX tuckpoint job buys decades more life on a brick structure that would otherwise cost 10× to rebuild.

Foundation Lift with Concrete Piers — Full Masonry Stabilization

Big one this week. Failing foundation + cracked masonry on an older home. Stabilized the whole thing with a concrete pier system — piers driven down to load-bearing strata, foundation brought back toward level, cracked masonry addressed in sequence. This is the type of job that doesn't fix itself. Every year it waits, fewer options remain and the fix gets more expensive. Caught this one in time.

Crawl Space Support Beam Rebuild + 6 Piers

Main crawl space support beam was shot — sagging floors above, visible deflection, beam itself was cracking. We rebuilt the beam completely and added 6 new concrete piers to carry the load. Sagging floors are almost always a crawl space problem. If your floors feel bouncy or you can see them slope with a marble, there's likely a beam or joist issue below. Free inspection is how we find out for sure.

Crawl Space Waterproofing + Full Vapor Barrier

Full crawl space moisture system install. Interior drainage channel around the perimeter routed to a sump pit, heavy-duty vapor barrier across the floor and up the walls. The crawl space is now a dry, sealed environment instead of a source of rising humidity. Next step we're discussing with the homeowner: a dedicated crawl space dehumidifier to keep the space below 60% RH year-round.

Egress Window Install — Converted a Dark Basement into Legal Sleeping Space

Cut-in egress window install from scratch. Well, escape ladder, window unit, and drainage lid — full code-compliant package. Two big wins for the homeowner: 1) it's now legal sleeping space (big resale value bump), and 2) the basement actually gets natural light. The drainage lid is easy to overlook but critical — without it, the well fills up in a heavy rain and you've created a basement flood entry point.

Floor Joist Repair — Sistering + Moisture Correction

Water-damaged floor joists sistered with new lumber to restore structural capacity. But — and this is the important part — we also addressed the moisture source below. Without that, the replacement wood would be in the same condition in 5-10 years. Fixing rotted wood without fixing the water is rearranging deck chairs. It's why we almost always end up recommending moisture correction alongside joist work.

Partnering with Liquid Stone on Volumetric Concrete

Proud to partner with Liquid Stone (liquidstonecrete.com) on concrete jobs that need precise volume, consistent quality, and on-demand freshness. Their volumetric mixers bring sand, stone, cement, and water to the site and mix per-job — meaning the mix you pour is the mix that was just made, not something that rode an hour from a batch plant. For smaller pours, repairs, or jobs with tight tolerances, this matters: no short loads, no waste, no waiting on a truck that can only serve you once. Different tool for a different category of work.

Crawl Space Encapsulation Start-to-Finish

Encapsulation changes the air in the whole house. Rising damp through crawl-space soil carries moisture and microbes up into the living space — that's the musty smell homeowners blame on the basement. Full encapsulation: clear and clean the crawl, repair any water intrusion at grade, install drain tile if needed, then seal the floor and walls with heavy vapor barrier taped and fastened at every seam. Finish with a dehumidifier sized to the volume. The floor stops being a source. Originally posted on Facebook · facebook.com/CornerstoneFAW

Warranted Structural Support Install

When a home settles, the fix isn't putting a shim under something and hoping. It's engineered support — concrete or steel piers driven to stable soil, beams sized to the load, connections that can carry the span for the life of the house. Every structural support job we do carries a transferable warranty. If you sell, the next owner keeps the coverage. That matters because real foundation fixes outlive ownership, and the warranty should follow the work. Originally posted on Facebook · facebook.com/CornerstoneFAW

Sidewalks & Flatwork — Built Flat, Built Straight

Cracked, heaved, or sunken sidewalks are trip hazards — and they'll funnel water right to your foundation if the slope has flipped. We demo the failed section, re-grade the sub-base, set proper control joints so the next cracks hide in the joints where they belong, and finish clean. Not a cosmetic patch. A full replacement at the right thickness, at the right slope, with proper drainage. Originally posted on Facebook · facebook.com/CornerstoneFAW

Masonry Repairs That Actually Hold

Masonry failures look cosmetic until the water gets behind the wall. Loose brick, spalled face, blown-out mortar joints — every one of them is a crack water can work through, and water getting behind brick is the start of real structural damage. The fix isn't surface patching. It's properly ground-out joints, color-matched tuckpointing, replacement of spalled units, and flashing corrected at openings. Restores weather resistance and keeps the wall doing its job for decades. Originally posted on Facebook · facebook.com/CornerstoneFAW

Garage Concrete Done Right

Garage slabs take abuse — vehicle weight, salt in winter, thermal swings, dropped tools. Most failures trace back to what happened BEFORE the pour: the base prep, the slope, the joint layout, the thickness. Do those right and the slab lasts a lifetime. Recent garage work ran the full sequence: demo the failed slab, compact the base, set proper reinforcement and expansion joints, pour at code thickness, and finish with a broom surface that stays grippy under tire. Sharing photos of the process. Originally posted on Facebook · facebook.com/CornerstoneFAW

Floor Joists, Top Plates, Piers — Level Floors Again

Just finished today: several floor joists and top plates repaired, additional concrete piers installed to get the floors back to level. We also dug out two rooms to give the crawl space proper clearance for future service work. This is the kind of job where the homeowner feels the fix the second they walk across the room — no more soft spots, no more bounce. Doors that had started sticking operate like they should again. Permanent fix, not a cosmetic patch. Originally posted on Facebook · facebook.com/CornerstoneFAW

When Other Waterproofers Had Given Up

This homeowner had several different waterproofing contractors out over the years and dished out lots of money on failed attempts to stop the water in their basement. Within the first walkthrough we could see the real problem — and the fix none of the others had put in place. If you've already paid once (or twice) to fix a wet basement and it's still wet, that doesn't mean nothing works. It means the wrong thing was done. Get a second opinion from a contractor who'll tell you what's actually going on down there. Originally posted on Facebook · facebook.com/CornerstoneFAW

Poured a 20×25 Patio Extension at Our Own Place

This week Cornerstone Foundation and Waterproofing, LLC got to invest a little bit into our own home. We poured a 20'x25' patio extension — decorative picture-frame border with a broom-finish center. Clean, modern, and built to hold up to Indiana freeze-thaw seasons. We take the same approach on our own property that we take on every customer job: proper sub-base, proper depth, and crews that care about the details.

This one meant a lot to the whole crew. If your property needs drainage, structural, concrete, or exterior improvement work, Cornerstone is here to help — (812) 850-5320.
