Block & CMU Construction in Norwell, MA

Licensed block & cmu construction in Norwell

Need block & cmu construction in Norwell, MA? Concrete Solutions LLC is a licensed, insured contractor serving Norwell, Scituate, Hanover, Hingham, and the rest of Plymouth County. We've handled concrete, masonry, and waterproofing across the South Shore since 1995, with free written estimates, fair pricing, and a workmanship guarantee.

Concrete block (CMU) is the workhorse of structural masonry, foundation walls, retaining walls, and load-bearing walls. Done right it's reinforced, grouted where it needs to be, and built on a footing sized for the load and the soil. Done wrong it cracks, bows, and leaks. We build and repair block walls with the reinforcement and drainage detailing the wall's job actually requires.

Method & materials

How we approach block & cmu construction

Footings sized to the load and soil, below frost depth.
Reinforced and grouted cells where the wall height and load require it.
Drainage and waterproofing detailing behind retaining and foundation walls so hydrostatic pressure can't build.
Parging or coating on below-grade block to shed water.

What goes wrong when it's done cheap

  • Retaining walls built with no drainage behind them, so water pressure bows and cracks the block.
  • Unreinforced block where the span and load needed reinforcement.
  • Undersized footing that settles and steps-cracks the wall.

Do I need a permit for block & cmu construction in Norwell?
It depends on scope. Some block & cmu construction work is a straightforward repair that doesn't need a permit; larger or structural scopes can. When a permit is needed, we pull it with the Norwell Building Department on your behalf.
Why is my block retaining wall bowing?
Almost always water pressure. Without drainage behind it, saturated soil pushes on the wall until it bows and cracks. A rebuilt or new wall needs drainage behind it, not just heavier block.
Do block foundation walls leak more than poured?
Block has more joints and hollow cells, so it can take on water if it isn't detailed and coated right below grade. We parge and waterproof below-grade block and manage the water so it stays dry.
Can you tie new block into my existing foundation?
Yes, we tie new block walls into existing masonry with the proper reinforcement so the connection is sound.
