The BASICS

Masonry is the binding of individual parts together with the use of mortar to produce a larger unified structure. Standard materials used are brick, stone, stone block, granite, marble, and concrete block to name a few.

WHAT CAN GO WRONG WITH MASONRY?

Depending on the type masonry feature you have there are different areas that can need repairing. Stone and brick can crack. The mortar in brick walls can erode. Mortar can crumble.

CRUMBLING MORTAR

This occurs when the mortar between joints begins to deteriorate. This is one of the main types of brick chimney repairs we perform. This technique is called tuckpointing and can be used on various types of repairs.

CRACKING

Another common type of issue we fix are cracks. If you’re experiencing cracking in your masonry, this is the sign of an underlying issue that needs to be addressed to ensure the fix will be permanent. Foundation repairs usually relate to cracking due to the expansion and contraction of the soil around a building.
