MASONRY FAQ

Q.What are the most common signs that your masonry may be in need of repair?

A. Masonry refers to construction using materials like bricks, stones, and concrete blocks. Over time, masonry can deteriorate due to a variety of factors, including age, weathering, structural movement, and deferred maintenance. Here are some signs that may indicate that your masonry needs to be repaired:

1. Cracks: Cracks in masonry can be a sign of structural issues or water damage. If the cracks are wider than 1/8 inch, it’s best to have them inspected by a professional.

2. Efflorescence: Efflorescence is the white powdery substance that appears on masonry surfaces due to water absorption. It can be a sign of moisture infiltration and can cause masonry deteriorates over time.

3. Leaks: Water leaks can damage masonry over time. Look for signs of water infiltration, such as stains on walls or ceilings, mold growth, or a musty odor.

4. Loose or missing mortar: Mortar holds masonry materials together, and if it’s missing or loose, it can compromise the integrity of the structure.

5. Bulging or leaning walls: If a masonry wall is bulging or leaning, it may be a sign of structural damage that needs to be addressed.

6. Crumbling or missing bricks or stones: If individual bricks or stones are crumbling or missing, it can weaken the overall structure and cause rapid deterioration to the surrounding areas.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to have a professional masonry contractor inspect your masonry to determine the extent of the damage and the best course of action to repair it.

Q.What Is The Difference Between Brick And Concrete?

A. Brick is typically made from clay or shale. A specially formulated cement mixture is used to make concrete pavers. Pavers made of concrete have a very high compressive strength, making them ideal for driveways, walkways, and patios. Contact us today to make sure you choose the right building materials for your job.

 

Q. Why Should I Repair My Deteriorated Masonry?

A. Deteriorated masonry can quickly lead to more serious structural problems. Once masonry begins to deteriorate, the rate of deterioration grows exponentially. Repairing masonry as soon as possible costs much less in the long run and protects you from much greater damage and expense in the future. At the end of the day, the masonry will look better repaired than it does in a state of deterioration.

 

Q.How Can My Deteriorated Masonry Be Repaired?

A. The cause and extent of the deterioration, as well as the environmental conditions the masonry is exposed to, determine the best way to repair masonry. Among the options are:

  • Composite Patching
  • Dutchman Patches
  • Remove and Replace
  • New Veneer
  • Stone Veneer
  • Fireplace Repair
  • Consolidation
  • Paving

Choosing the best method for deteriorated masonry is a critical decision that should be done by a trained, experienced, and competent professional. This will give you peace of mind that the repaired masonry will not only look good, but it will also endure the test of time.
