Masonry and Brick Crack Repair

One of the most common problems homeowners have with their masonry and bricks is the appearance of cracks in their walls. Generally, the weakest part of a wall will crack when there is a shifting in the foundation or a settling of the earth below ground level. Oftentimes, the weakest area of a brick wall is between openings for windows and doors. Cracks, however, can appear anywhere.

What To Look For

When a crack appears, the first thing to do is figure out wether or not it will continue to get worse. This is something Wilkens Masonry can help with. We will do a site visit, assess the situation, and either suggest a repair, or refer you towards a different solution.

What Can You Do?

When a crack in a masonry or brick wall can be repaired, it is generally a simple process. We will remove enough of the mortar or material in the crack to allow us to repoint (fill in with new mortar) the void. This will prevent water, bugs and other things from entering the wall. If there is a specific mortar tint, colour, or texture, we will do our best to blend our new material with whats already there.
