In 2023, Durham Chimney & Masonry Repair completed a crucial brick repair project in Port Hope, Ontario. The home required some brick filling in and replacement as some of its bricks had become spalled and decayed, a common issue caused by trapped moisture that can weaken the structure over time.
Our team carefully removed all the damaged bricks and replaced them with new ones, ensuring the repair was not only structurally sound but also consistent with the home’s original aesthetic. We used the correct lime mortar for the job, which is essential for heritage buildings. Lime mortar is breathable, allowing moisture to escape, which is vital for maintaining the integrity of older structures. It also provides flexibility, preventing future damage from expanding and contracting due to temperature changes.
