Masonry Solutions for Silsbee Properties

Properties in Silsbee face unique challenges that differ from coastal cities like Port Arthur. Here in Hardin County, your home sits on a mix of sandy loam and clay soil that shifts with our 50 to 60 inches of annual rainfall. Many homes along Highway 96 and around the downtown Church Street area were built between 1950 and 1980, and we see plenty of brick settling and foundation movement as that older construction adjusts to our soil. If you notice diagonal cracks in your brick or gaps opening between your chimney and siding, that is typical Silsbee soil movement. We also work with newer homes in subdivisions off Highway 327 where custom stone patios and outdoor living spaces are popular, but need proper drainage design to handle our East Texas rainfall.

Downtown Restoration and Rural Property Work

Silsbee has a mix of historic downtown buildings on Rice Street and Temple Street, plus plenty of rural properties spread across Hardin County. Downtown, we restore 1920s to 1940s brick storefronts, matching old mortar colors and textures so your repairs blend in seamlessly. Out in the county, we build everything from stone entrance pillars for ranch properties to large retaining walls on sloped land near Village Creek. Your rural properties often have better drainage than in town, but you still need proper mortar mix and flashing to handle afternoon thunderstorms that roll through from May to September. We also handle brick repair and restoration on older homes near the railroad tracks that have settled over time, causing cracks and loose bricks that need attention before they get worse.

Our Process

Step 1: Free Assessment

We start with a free on-site visit to your Silsbee property. We inspect your masonry, check for soil movement issues common in Hardin County, and take measurements. We discuss your goals, whether it is repairing an old downtown building or adding a new patio to your home off Highway 327, and answer all your questions on the spot.

Proper Drainage for Silsbee Soil Conditions

Your Silsbee property needs proper drainage to protect your masonry investment. With 50 to 60 inches of rain each year and soil that holds moisture, water can pool around foundations and under patios if not managed correctly. We install French drains, slope grading, and proper base materials when we build retaining walls and patios. For older homes near downtown or along North Street, we often add drainage solutions during foundation repair work to prevent future problems. The combination of sandy loam and clay soil means water moves differently than in Orange or Beaumont, so we adjust our techniques based on your specific property. We also make sure downspouts direct water away from new masonry work, protecting your investment for years to come in the Hardin County climate.
