Brick Pointing & Replacement

Loose or Missing Bricks

Brick walls are sturdy and durable, designed to last for decades. But over time, shifting ground, tree roots, rain and freezing temperatures can take their toll, especially if the bricks are load-bearing.

Is your brick building or brick wall showing signs of distress? Can you see cracks, spalling (flaking), bulging or bowing? If so, you need to take action before small issues become big, costly problems. Once the bond of the mortar that holds the bricks together has been broken, the wall is unsafe and potentially at risk of collapse.

Checking for Structural Integrity

Dry Building Solutions is a skilled, experienced brick masonry contractor able to build, repair or replace brick walls in any commercial building or industrial facility. We’ll start by thoroughly inspecting the wall to determine the scope of the damage. We’ll evaluate its structural integrity.

Specifically, we’re looking for signs of:

• Efflorescence (salt stains) which suggests water intrusion
• Step cracks
• Bulging or bowing
• Leaks
• Staining
• Corrosion
• Organic decay
• Displaced bricks

We’ll identify the possible causes of your brick issues and how best to address them. We’ll check the interior of your walls for damage and conduct a RILEM test to measure water repellency. That’s all part of formulating the best solution for repairs that are permanent and will ensure the long-term structural integrity of your brick walls.
