Masonry Repair in Binbrook
With some of the world’s most ancient landmarks being constructed from masonry, it’s hard to imagine that the home you live in would require masonry repair in your lifetime. However, like any other material, stone, brick, and cement are not invulnerable. Especially when these materials are exposed to the elements day after day.
The majority of masonry structures in Binbrook have been around for well over 100 years (the predicted lifespan of brick) so there’s no need to be concerned if you’re seeing cracking and mortar damage. This is natural!
All you need to do is get in touch with the masonry repair contractors at Beyond Construction Inc., and we’ll get your masonry back to looking its best—maybe even better than you’ve ever seen it!
Stone and Concrete Masonry Repair
Two of the oldest and most natural materials you’ll find, at Beyond Construction Inc. we love the history of stone and concrete masonry work. Whether we’re installing, repairing, or restoring, we pay keen attention to detail, and on older buildings, maintain historical accuracy.
Staining and Yellowing
You’d be surprised at how easily stone and concrete surfaces and walls can stain and yellow over the years. While sealing methods can prevent this from happening, sometimes you’ll need to call in the professionals. We’ll try a variety of methods, and recommend the right sealer to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
Efflorescence
Efflorescence occurs when new or old stone is exposed to a large quantity of water. For Binbrook homes in flood zones this is very common. It can make your home appear shabby. But thankfully, it’s easily taken care of by a professional crew.
Spalling, Flaking and Pitting
When your home is exposed to even more water, combined with elements such as ice, efflorescence will take the next step of spalling (small pieces of stone separating), flaking, and pitting. Give Beyond Construction Inc. a call and we’ll provide a permanent solution for the problem.
Cracking
Cracking can occur for a number of reasons, but easily dealt with. At Beyond Construction Inc. we only work with the most effective materials and techniques so that when we fix a problem it stays fixed!
Brick Repointing
Brick pointing is the external part of mortar joints. These are the first to go over time when faced with natural decay. It’s important to address brick wall repair quickly to avoid the entrance of water.
Believe it or not, brick is a porous material meaning that if water is allowed into it, it will expand, crack, and create a much larger problem than simply needing to update some mortar.
High-Quality Masonry Services
If you are on a property that has masonry work anywhere, whether that includes your entire home or just your patio, you’ll need to have qualified masonry repair contractors in mind should a problem arise.
Masonry construction can last hundreds of years, but if it’s not cared for properly, you leave it open to damage that will cost you big time! If you suspect you require brick repointing, mortar repair for cracks, or anything else, give us a call immediately!
