Parging is the cement coating that protects the exposed part of a foundation wall. When it cracks or comes loose, water gets into the concrete and every freeze-thaw cycle makes the damage worse.
How we repair parging
We remove loose and failing material, prepare the surface so the new coat can bond, then apply and finish a new parge coat.

Signs you need parging
Cracks
Hairline or wide cracks running across the coat.
Flaking or falling off
Pieces of parging separating from the wall.
Hollow sound
Tapping the wall finds areas that are no longer bonded.
Bare concrete
Foundation walls that were never finished.
Our process
- Inspect and measure the wall and check for moisture problems.
- Remove loose material down to sound concrete.
- Prepare the surface so the new coat bonds properly.
- Apply and finish the new parge coat.
- Clean up and walk through the finished job with you.
Parging FAQ
Why is my parging falling off?
Usually water gets behind the coat and freeze-thaw cycles push it off the wall, or the original coat was not properly bonded.
