Stop watching cracks grow bigger every season—get foundation repair that actually works in clay soil and survives Massachusetts winters.
When your foundation is properly fixed, you stop worrying about every crack or water puddle in your basement. No more doors that stick when the seasons change. No more wondering if that new crack means trouble.
You get a foundation that handles what Mattapan throws at it—clay soil that swells and shrinks, freeze-thaw cycles that split concrete, and heavy rains that test every seal. Your basement stays dry through spring flooding and summer storms.
Most importantly, you get peace of mind. Your family’s home sits on solid ground that won’t shift, settle, or let water creep in when you least expect it.
At Academy Masonry, we understand Mattapan’s foundation challenges because we’ve been solving them for over 30 years. We know how clay soil behaves in this neighborhood. We know what happens to foundations built in 1945 when they meet today’s weather patterns.
Your neighbors have trusted us with their foundation problems because we get the local conditions right. Clay soil that expands in spring rains and contracts in summer heat. Frost that penetrates deeper than most people realize. Drainage issues that affect entire blocks.
We’re licensed and insured, but more than that—we’re the team that shows up, does the work correctly, and stands behind it. No disappearing after the job is done. No cutting corners because “it’s an old house anyway.”
We start by actually looking at your foundation—not just the obvious cracks, but the soil around your house, drainage patterns, and how your foundation has been moving over time. You’ll understand exactly what’s happening and why.
Then we create a repair plan that makes sense for your specific situation and Mattapan’s soil conditions. Whether it’s structural repair, waterproofing, or foundation leveling, you’ll know what we’re doing and how much it costs before we start.
During the work, we protect your property and keep you informed. We use materials and methods designed for clay soil and Massachusetts weather—not generic solutions that might work somewhere else. When we finish, your foundation is ready for whatever Mattapan’s conditions bring next.

Our foundation services include crack repair, waterproofing, leveling, and structural stabilization. We handle everything from minor settling to major foundation problems caused by Mattapan’s clay soil and drainage challenges.
For the many homes in Mattapan built in the 1940s and earlier, we specialize in stone and masonry foundation restoration. These older foundations need different approaches than modern poured concrete—we use techniques and materials that work with the original construction while solving today’s problems.
We also provide basement waterproofing that works specifically with Mattapan’s soil and water flow patterns. Not generic basement sealing, but solutions designed for clay soil that holds water and neighborhoods where drainage affects multiple properties.
