While there are many causes of masonry repairs, only a handful of common problems might require professional assistance. First, water can weaken the mortar which holds bricks together. This causes the structure to be less sturdy and more vulnerable to falling. The second is water penetration into wood structures that can lead to mold growth, rot, and other problems. The masonry contractor must repair and install bricks to solve the problems. Brick repair involves filling cracks with new slabs of cracked stone. Sometimes, this means removing and replacing the damaged slabs. Concrete filling or caulking might be necessary to fix other problems. A masonry contractor will determine the best solution for your particular situation. Once the repair is completed, the building will be in great shape.
