Masonry waterproofing in Jenks, OK
Tulsa County · ZIP 74037 · Published pricing · Call (918) 362-4398
Jenks homes are the expensive version of the Broken Arrow house: full brick or a brick and stone mix, big two story elevations, and lots that step down toward the Arkansas River on the west bank. Two things follow from that. The wall area is larger, so a whole house sealing job sits in the upper half of our $1,000 to $3,500 range, and the exposure is worse, because the west and south walls take the full force of the storms that come up the river valley.
Stone veneer is the Jenks specialty. The 2000s houses off 96th and in Southern Lakes used a lot of cut stone and manufactured stone on the fronts, and stone is porous in a way brick is not. It drinks water, holds it, and in a hard freeze the face pops off in plates. Haikey Creek Masonry Waterproofing seals stone with the same silane and siloxane chemistry as brick, at a higher product rate, and repairs spalled pieces at $600 to $2,500 per job before the wall gets sealed.
The river matters here too. Jenks was under mandatory evacuation in May 2019, and the low streets near the river had water against foundations for days. Clay on the terrace stays wet long after the river drops, which is why some of those houses now show a damp line on the bottom courses every spring. That is a drainage job, not a sealer job, and we price it at $6,000 to $15,000 per side so nobody is surprised.
The stone veneer problem on 2000s Jenks houses
Manufactured stone on Jenks houses from the 2000s is often set with no weep screed at the bottom and no drainage mat behind it, which the manufacturers now require. Water goes in through the mortar joints between stones, runs down the sheathing, and comes out as rot at the sill plate. We probe the bottom of every stone elevation before we seal it, because a wet wall behind the stone is a bigger problem than the stone itself.

What Jenks owners want to know first
- How much does it cost to seal a stone and brick house in Jenks?
- A larger two story Jenks elevation with stone on the front usually lands at $2,000 to $3,500 for the repellent. Stone takes more product than brick, which is why it prices toward the top of our $1,000 to $3,500 range.
- Pieces of the stone on my front wall are popping off. Can that be fixed?
- Yes. Spalled stone is cut out and replaced with matched pieces at $600 to $2,500 per job, then the elevation is sealed so the new and old stone shed water together. We check the wall behind it for moisture first.
- Our house was in the 2019 evacuation area. Should we be worried about the brick?
- Only if you see a damp band on the bottom courses that comes back every spring, or white efflorescence. Both mean the cavity is still getting wet from the ground side, and that is a drainage fix rather than a sealer.
- Will the sealer change the look of my stone?
- No. A penetrating silane and siloxane repellent soaks in and leaves no film or gloss. The film forming sealers that darken and shine are the ones we refuse to use on exterior masonry.
- Do you work on the older houses near Main Street in Jenks?
- Yes. The early 1900s brick near the Elm Street district needs a softer approach, lime rich mortar and no pressure washing, and we price it off the same repointing range.
