Mortar Repair
Old mortar over time deteriorates & basically washes away, leaving no support for brick, plus room for water to get in causing further damage. The first picture shows the scale of the problem for some old homes, as well as how NOT to fix the mortar.
Mould Treatment
Mould can form on brick from years of water. With a simple treatment, this same wall looks much clenaer, but still has its well earned patina.
Grinding & Re-Pointing
Heritage homes can retain their charm AND structural integrity. Grinding away dirt and debris & repointing brickwork makes a huge difference.
Foundation Repair
Old stone foundations need new mortar with age. Animals find homes and water leaks in. This is the same foundation after it has been fixed, water-tight and looking great!
