What Good Masonry Can Do For You: Building Owners and Property Managers
One of the things I have recommended for years to building management companies and owners is to have a professional masonry restoration contractor go through your entire building portfolio and write a report on what should be done to each of the buildings, in a priority fashion, with a generalized time frame estimation on the full list.

We are often called out to a masonry building after the “horse is out of the barn.” The building has begun to leak and the damage is now showing on the inside. With a masonry building, sometimes that means that there is damage far more substantial that what can be seen.
On a brick building, there is about a 1 inch of air space between the veneer wall and the substrate. The substrate is covered with building paper. If the paper is done right, then the interior might not show water for quite some time after the leak has developed. Masonry buildings that are more than 50 years old should be inspected on a regular basis by a qualified restoration mason or a building inspector. As most building owners or managers know, maintenance is usually far less expensive than “fixing” the damage after the fact. If an owner waits until the symptom shows itself, the problem could be far worse than the symptom shows. |

Masonry Restoration
Masonry restoration is the phrase used for working with any form of masonry on an existing building or home that does not encompass actually building it. Restoration runs the gambit from tearing the masonry down and rebuilding to cleaning and sealing.
