Common Masonry Problems

Mortar Deterioration

Mortar breaks down from weather exposure, especially in Vancouver’s wet climate. Regular repointing maintains structural integrity.

Brick Spalling

Bricks absorb water, freeze, and break apart. Spalling accelerates once it starts, requiring prompt replacement.

Efflorescence

White staining indicates water moving through masonry. We identify water sources and address them along with visible symptoms.

Cracks

Cracks result from settlement, structural movement, or freeze-thaw cycles. We determine if cracks are structural or cosmetic and repair appropriately.

Bulging Walls

Walls that bow or bulge indicate serious structural problems requiring immediate attention and proper reinforcement.

Water Infiltration

Water entering through masonry causes interior damage, mold, and accelerated deterioration. We identify entry points and seal them properly.

Common Questions About Masonry

Quality repointing lasts 25-30 years in Vancouver’s climate. Cheap work using wrong mortar fails much sooner.
Usually yes. We source matching bricks from specialty suppliers or salvage yards. Some variation is normal with old bricks.
Mortar deteriorates from weather exposure, especially freeze-thaw cycles. Using mortar that’s too hard for the bricks also causes problems.
Use breathable waterproofing only. Non-breathable sealers trap moisture and cause damage. We apply appropriate products.
Horizontal cracks, stair-step cracks, and cracks wider than 1/4 inch indicate structural issues. We assess crack severity and recommend appropriate repairs.
