Masonry Restoration FAQs
What types of historic masonry can be restored?
Historic masonry restoration can address brick and stone walls, chimneys, mortar joints, and other masonry features. The right scope depends on the building’s materials, age, and current condition, so an assessment helps determine appropriate repairs.
How can I tell if mortar needs repair?
Look for mortar that is cracked, loose, missing, or pulling away from the brick. Water entry and damaged masonry can also signal a problem. A qualified assessment can help identify the cause and the repair needed.
Why does mortar compatibility matter?
Mortar that is too hard or otherwise unsuitable can stress historic brick and affect how moisture moves through a wall. Matching repair materials to the existing masonry helps protect the building and support a durable repair.
Do all damaged bricks need to be replaced?
Not always. Some bricks may be repairable, while others may be too deteriorated to remain in place. The decision depends on the extent of damage, the surrounding masonry, and the needs of the structure.
What should I share before requesting an assessment?
Describe the building’s location in Savannah, the masonry area involved, and any visible damage or moisture concerns. Photos can help explain what you see, though an on-site review may be needed to evaluate conditions.
