Chimneys are a common fixture in many Washington, D.C. homes. They provide warmth, comfort, and a cozy atmosphere. However, over time, chimneys can become worn and damaged, requiring repairs and maintenance to keep them functioning correctly.
During an inspection, our masonry team will look for signs of damage, such as cracks, missing mortar, and loose bricks. Additionally, masonry workers may inspect the chimney's crown, cap, and flashing to ensure they are properly installed and functioning to prevent water damage.
Depending on what they find, our masonry workers can do repointing and replace any damaged bricks or mortar. We can also repair damaged chimney crowns or replace new caps as needed. After the repair, we will perform a final inspection to ensure the chimney is functioning correctly.
Tuckpointing is a common masonry technique to repair and restore brick and stonework. In Washington, D.C., many homes and businesses have brick or stone exteriors, and over time, the mortar between the bricks or stones can begin to wear away. This can lead to moisture penetration, which can cause damage to the structure of the building.
Tuckpointing is an essential maintenance task for many homes and businesses in Washington, D.C., because it can help prevent costly repairs down the line. If you notice that the mortar between your bricks or stones is beginning to wear away, it's important to contact our professionals to perform tuckpointing as soon as possible.
In Washington, D.C., where many homes and businesses have been standing for decades, if not centuries, foundation and wall issues can be common. These issues can range from minor cracks to major structural damage.
Our workers will assess the wall or foundation to determine the extent of the issue and devise a plan for repairs. If the damage is minor, such as a small crack, we may be able to simply fill it in with mortar or other materials. For more extensive damage, such as significant cracks or shifting walls, more in-depth repairs may be necessary.
