What Causes Water to Enter Brick and Block Walls?
Water intrusion can cause serious problems for commercial buildings if masonry issues are left unaddressed. But where does the water get in?
Here are four common areas to watch:
Deteriorated mortar joints: Crumbling or missing mortar can create pathways for water to enter.
Cracked bricks and blocks: Cracks can allow moisture to pe*****te the masonry.
Failed sealants: Worn or damaged sealant around windows, doors, and joints can leave gaps.
Damaged masonry surfaces: Spalling, deteriorating materials, and other exterior defects can increase exposure to moisture.
We helps commercial property owners in Indianapolis identify masonry concerns and explore appropriate solutions, including tuckpointing, brick and block repairs, masonry restoration, and suitable waterproofing or protective coating systems.
