The importance of acting quickly in case of problems
Masonry walls (brick, stone, or concrete) can last a very long time and remain solid when properly maintained at the first signs of minor issues. Brick and stone are highly durable materials, but it is often the mortar that binds them together that deteriorates prematurely.
It is important to address masonry issues while they are still small and easy to fix. Waiting too long can lead to more serious and costly damage. Some deterioration can even affect the overall structure of one or more walls.
Common problems
Temperature fluctuations (extreme cold and intense heat) can, over time, damage the structure of brick or stone walls. Masonry issues often occur due to soil thawing, which softens the ground and reduces its ability to properly support foundations, creating pressure on masonry walls. As a result, bricks and mortar can crack or break since they are not flexible materials.
Among the most common issues is mortar deterioration (which binds bricks or stones together). Due to weather conditions (freeze, thaw, rain, ice, and wind), mortar inevitably degrades over time—and its initial quality plays a major role. By maintaining the mortar in your walls after a few years, you can prevent water infiltration that could lead to bulging or displacement of certain bricks relative to the rest of the wall (bowed walls). In such cases, it is essential to contact a mason who can intervene before a potential wall collapse occurs.
Cracks in a brick wall can be caused by a settling structure, foundation issues, or simply water infiltration. Vertical cracks are often the result of freeze-thaw cycles. Large tree roots can also lead to cracking in brick walls. The absence of flashing or lintels affected by rust may also be the source of cracks.
As for damaged, crumbling, or missing bricks, they must be replaced promptly to maintain the wall’s strength, while also verifying whether the issue is related to a bowed wall. Repointing should also be carried out, and mortar applied across the entire wall surface to ensure a uniform appearance. It is important to note that replacing architectural elements such as window sills or lintels should be done by professionals.
Specialists in working at heights
It is always recommended to hire a qualified masonry contractor, especially when the project involves working at heights. This significantly reduces the risk of falls, as well as potential property damage. Improperly installed scaffolding can often damage walls and windows—issues that can easily be avoided by working with experienced professionals.
Our masonry specialists can carry out long-lasting repairs on both exterior and interior walls. If needed, they can also repair chimneys. With our specialized equipment, we can improve the energy efficiency of all types of buildings—an intelligent investment that can help reduce your electricity costs.
Before starting any work, our team always establishes a secure perimeter around the job site. This safety zone allows our masonry experts to complete the project efficiently and without complications. Regardless of your property’s layout, we ensure that your belongings are well protected. When we leave, the site will be thoroughly cleaned.
At MAÇONNERIE ÉLÉGANCE, we comply with all occupational health and safety regulations in force in the province.
