Fossil fuel burning appliances, such as furnaces or water heaters, must discharge biproducts of combustion, such as Carbon Monoxide, to exterior. High efficiency, condensing type appliances do that using PVC pipes, while lower efficiency appliances require a chimney for discharging of gases.

Repointing of masonry structures isn’t only about beauty, new mortar brings life to aging walls, and reinforces their integrity. It also prevents water from penetrating deeper into the wall and to the house’s interior. However, repointing can be performed only if the wall is still sound. If you already have several loose bricks, damaged brick surface, bulging, extensive mortar loss, it might be late for saving the wall with repointing – let us take a look at your masonry property.

Whether working with concrete, or masonry, contractors often get a bad rap for their pricing. Adjusting bids for smaller contractors may be easier because their overhead is much lower than those who employ several work crews – check this article, maybe it will help you clear up this issue a little https://www.forbes.com/sites/houzz/2014/10/07/contractor-fees-demystified/

Why do lintels corrode? It has to do with Chicago’s rainfall, humidity, heat and cold, and very often with improper installation). Steel is directly affected by weathering, inconsistent temperatures (which is happening quite a lot these days) and harmful gases in the air that can react with steel surfaces, making them rusty and weak.

Steel lintels are important to retain brick structures above them and to make your windows, walls and portals look nice.

If you have noticed any significant change in your steel lintels, give us a call at 847-724-5600 and let us take a look.

There was a time in Chicago, not that long ago, when developers used to build homes, often multi-family buildings, using split face block as a structural and decorative element. It was used / installed on the rear and side elevations of the building.

Original texture, and some color variety made those buildings interesting for two reasons: their appeal (if you like split face block look), and for their moisture related problems. Imagine, that a typical 3-unit building absorbs and holds in their walls about 2,500 gallons ow water!!!

Not a healthy building at all!!! For years, we’ve been fixing moisture related problems in split face block buildings, waterproofing them, installing flashing, and making them dry.
