Masonry Overview
Masonry is creating larger and cohesive structures from smaller individual parts. These individual parts can be composed of concrete, granite, stone, brick, marble, and more. They are then bound together through the use of mortar. There are a lot of factors that contribute to the excellence of the masonry. One must consider the quality of the material used and the level of the workers’ skills that put all of these materials together. That’s why masonry can have varying degrees of quality. Shoddy materials will offer poor resistance and durability, while less skilled craftsmanship can compromise the construction process. What they create may then require repairs sooner than they should. Whereas those experienced in masonry will be able to utilize quality materials and professional skills to create structures that will withstand the test of time and the elements.
Importance of Masonry Repairs
Great architectural wonders and the sturdiest of houses have great masonry work to thank for their existence. To keep them lasting through the ages of time, it’s important that their masonry is strong and maintained. Issues with the masonry that are left unattended can have worse repercussions down the line. That’s why addressing any problems that arise as swiftly as possible is essential. No one wants to deal with a more dangerous structural problem or higher costs of damage repairs. However, masonry repair shouldn’t simply be reactive. To ensure more longevity and cost-saving, preventive measures are also highly recommended. It’s better to prevent masonry issues arising in the first place, after all.
The Most Common Issues
Crumbling Mortar
The mortar used between bricks will wear down over time, which can result in loose, buckling, or crumbling mortar. This can lead to further issues if it persists untreated. For one, there’s nothing to act as a buffer between the bricks, so they can start rubbing against each other, getting loose and falling off. It also introduces the possibility of moisture getting into the mortar foundations, which will speed up the process of deterioration of the overall structure. This problem can be found in common house structures like brick chimneys or walls. If you see any signs of crumbling mortar, you should call us in right away. We’ll use a technique called tuckpointing which will see your deteriorating mortar replaced or reinforced. By preventing further damage to your masonry, you’ll have saved yourself from expensive future repair costs.
Vertical Corner Cracks
When the structure’s foundations start settling in, cracks can start appearing as well. This can be normal for some, but it could also indicate an underlying problem. If corner cracks aren’t addressed right away, they can get larger over time. Water can start seeping in during heavy rains, which can cause damage within the wall. If you call us in right away to do repairs, the process can be fairly simple and inexpensive. We’ll do a simple epoxy injection that will help reinforce the cracks. However, keeping those cracks unaddressed can cause them to expand. When that happens, more difficult structural repairs may be needed. As always, calling in repair services earlier rather than later is always better advice.
Bulging
When water enters the insides of your masonry, this can warp the bricks and concrete which makes them jut out and cause and an unsightly bulge. To prevent this, our masons will assess what’s causing the water to seep in, replace bricks and concrete that have been compromised because of the moisture, restore your surface in all its flat glory.
Compacted bricks
A compacted brick is one that has deformed in some way due to pressure or deterioration. This can create a hole where unwanted elements can enter and create more damage from within. A much worse consequence is that one compacted brick can lead to more since the other surrounding bricks have to compensate for that one compacted brick. That’s why it’s advisable to replace the compacted brick right away.
Efflorescence
When concrete is exposed to moisture consistently, white stains because of salt left by water will start to form. Our masons will determine the cause of the stains. It can be solved by a simple pressure wash to restore the appearance. If you leave them untreated for too long, they can settle in even further and become more difficult to remove, which can be more expensive to fix. If there are any underlying causes brought by moisture, you can be sure we’ll spot it and provide the necessary repairs.
