Hello All,
I live in the Chicagoland area, my house was built in 1925 and the block foundation is flaking apart in certain spots on the interior(dry basement). What is causing this and can be done to stabilize or halt this deterioration? Thanks in advance for any insight on this problem.

Look out and up from the flaked areas and follow that till you find a def. source of moisture. Something is probably pushing the flakes off. Are these concrete blocks? Is there any powdery substance in these areas as well? Look for downspout locations. Old cisterns. Hose bibs. Driveway or sidewalk next to foundations. Stop the source and then make those blocks pretty. How bout dem bulls?
