Common Masonry Problems
Why Toronto Brickwork Deteriorates.
Much of Toronto's residential brick is a century old, laid with soft lime mortar and never intended to handle the water it now gets. Once joints open up, water enters the wall, freezes, expands and pushes brick faces off.
Repairs are matched to the original construction — mortar strength, joint profile and brick selection all affect how long the restoration lasts.

Common Questions
Masonry Repair FAQs
Still unsure what applies to your home? Call us and describe what you're seeing.
When mortar joints have receded, softened or can be scraped out by hand, the wall is no longer shedding water properly. Repointing removes the deteriorated mortar to a consistent depth and replaces it with a mortar matched to the original in strength and appearance — using a mortar that is too hard on soft historic brick causes the brick itself to fail.
Brick, Chimney Or Parging Starting To Fail?
Masonry deterioration accelerates once water is inside the wall. Have it assessed before more of the wall is affected.
