Chimney Rebuild/Masonry work
In many homes; damaged bricks can often be observed toward the bottoms of walls and masonry porches, brick support columns, etc.; where often exposed to snow and salt. In older neighbourhoods, where housing may be over 100 years old; it is common to find the original brick glazing has worn off, leaving original bricks vulnerable to water penetration, and resulting in interior damage.
Evidence of crumbling bricks, and or open mortar joints, are a sign that restorative masonry repairs are required. Tuck-pointing such areas help to prevent the continued, and rapid deterioration of such surfaces.
The process involves grinding out, replacing individually damaged bricks, and replacing them with new ones. Associated brick joints are then re-packed with fresh mortar. This work also applies to block foundations and retaining walls. Care is taken to closely match replacement brick, and to tint mortar color to achieve a more seamless appearance.
The replacement of brick or stone sills beneath windows, or on top of parapet walls, and retaining walls is another common associated repair requirement.
