Why is sandstone & stone foundation repair needed so often in Poland?
Older homes in Poland village often sit on cut sandstone or fieldstone foundations laid with lime mortar. Over a century, that mortar washes out, stones loosen and water seeps through the gaps, especially on sloping, wooded lots where runoff runs toward the house.
How is sandstone & stone foundation repair done in Poland homes?
Repair usually means repointing with a compatible soft mortar, resetting loose stones and then managing water outside, because hard modern mortar and sealants can trap moisture and speed up damage to the stone.
