Learn more →Common Masonry Problems We Fix
If you're seeing any of these issues, don't wait. Small problems become big repairs when water gets involved.
Crumbling Mortar Joints
Mortar deteriorates faster than brick. When joints recede more than 6mm, water gets in and accelerates damage.
Fix: Tuckpointing with compatible mortar restores the weather barrier.
Spalling Brick Faces
Freeze-thaw cycles cause brick faces to flake off. Often starts with hairline cracks that let moisture in.
Fix: Replace damaged bricks with matching units. Address moisture source.
Stair-Step Cracks
Diagonal cracks following mortar joints indicate foundation movement or settlement.
Fix: Assess structural cause first, then repair masonry and address foundation if needed.
Efflorescence (White Staining)
Salt deposits on masonry surface indicate moisture moving through the wall.
Fix: Fix water source, clean deposits, and apply breathable sealer if appropriate.
Bulging or Bowing Walls
Wall moving outward from structure. Can indicate tie failure, water damage, or foundation issues.
Fix: Structural assessment required. May need wall ties, rebuilding, or foundation work.
Chimney Deterioration
Chimneys take the worst weather exposure. Crown cracks, flashing failures, and mortar erosion are common.
Fix: Comprehensive chimney repair addressing crown, cap, flashing, and masonry.
