MASONRY REPAIR AND RESTORATION SERVICES

When dealing with damaged masonry, it is imperative to be proactive in getting it repaired. The longer you wait to get masonry repairs, the worse the problem will be and, as a result, the more expensive it will be. If there is any issue with your masonry, give Big Mountain Masonry a call today and let us see what we can do to fix it.

Signs Your Building Needs Masonry Restoration

Buildings can go between 50 and 100 years before they require professional masonry restoration services, which can make it difficult to know when a restoration should be performed. Of course, there are plenty of external factors that can accelerate the deterioration of stone, brick and mortar. Here are some things to look for to know whether or not your building can benefit from Big Mountain Masonry's masonry restoration services.

Portions of Brick are Covered With White Powdery Substance

This is known as efflorescence and it is usually caused by excess moisture building up in the brick wall over a long period of time. The moisture inside the brick carries soluble salt or dissolves salt from the surrounding mortar. As the salty moisture moves to the outer surface and evaporates, the salt is left behind in this white, powdery deposit. It's an indication that the wall is not drying properly.

Diagonal Cracking in the Bricks

Cracking can be caused by a number of different things. The most common culprit is a deteriorated shelf angel. If a shelf angle is failing, it is applying a ton of pressure to the veneer wall. Over time, this creates a very dangerous situation as the bricks are holding more weight than they can handle.

Cracked or Missing Mortar

Even the smallest cracks in masonry joints needs to be fixed right away, as any sized crack can let water seep in leading to freezing in winter. This is only made worse if there are pieces of mortar missing altogether. Repairing and replacing mortar can be difficult as the new mixture needs to match the original. This is just one of the reasons why you shouldn't settle for anything less than Big Mountain Masonry to conduct your masonry restoration.
