Managing Moisture on Ballantine's Irrigated Properties
Here in Ballantine, irrigation water changes everything about how we approach foundation work and outdoor masonry. Your property likely sits near irrigation ditches or pivot systems that keep soil moisture levels high through summer months. This constant moisture means your foundation walls, retaining structures, and basement areas face different challenges than properties in Billings proper. We design drainage systems that account for both natural groundwater and irrigation runoff, protecting your masonry from the kind of water damage that leads to expensive repairs down the road.
Many Ballantine homeowners contact us when they notice efflorescence on their brick or foundation walls. That white powdery substance tells us water is moving through your masonry and bringing salts to the surface. We fix the underlying drainage problem first, then repair and seal the affected masonry. Band-aid solutions do not work here because irrigation season comes every year.
Serving Ballantine's Mix of Older Homes and New Construction
Ballantine properties range from newer ranch-style homes on large lots to older farmhouses that have been here for generations. We regularly work on brick chimneys dating back forty or fifty years that need rebuilding or extensive repair. Your older home's chimney was probably built before modern flashing techniques became standard, which means water has likely been getting in for years. We modernize these structures while keeping the look that matches your home.
For newer Ballantine homes, we often build custom patios and outdoor spaces that take advantage of your views and lot size. Your property probably has room for the kind of outdoor kitchen or entertainment area that makes summer evenings special. We design these spaces to complement your home's architecture and handle the moisture conditions specific to this area.
Our Process
Free On-Site Evaluation
We visit your Ballantine property and conduct a thorough inspection of your masonry needs. We look at irrigation patterns around your foundation, check drainage systems, and identify any moisture-related issues that need attention. You get honest feedback about what work is necessary now versus what can wait. Our written estimate breaks down every aspect of the project with clear pricing and no hidden fees. This consultation costs nothing and creates zero obligation for you.
Creating Usable Outdoor Spaces on Your Ballantine Property
Your Ballantine lot gives you room to create outdoor living areas that match how you actually use your property. We build stone patios that connect your home to your yard, outdoor kitchens positioned to catch summer breezes, and fire features that extend your outdoor season into cool fall evenings. Everything gets designed around your irrigation schedule and drainage patterns so your investment stays beautiful and functional year after year.
Whether you need retaining walls to create level areas on sloped ground, paver driveways that handle equipment and family vehicles, or simple walkways that stay dry even during irrigation season, we have the local experience to build it right the first time. Your project receives the same careful attention whether you are spending five thousand or fifty thousand dollars.
