From replacing deteriorated wall ties to decaying steel lintels, D&R Masonry Restoration can bring your existing façade’s integrity back to its original design. We can address structural issues in newer construction, older structures and historic buildings.
The façade stabilization method can essentially allow for buildings to be effectively designed and/or repaired both structurally and cosmetically at the same time, in a uniform manner. This can be an optimal solution for problematic historic buildings which need to keep their signature old look and feel consistent, but with modern strength and durability. By making such sites dependable with façade stabilization D&R Masonry Restoration can ensure further use, safety, and enjoyment of older structures for years to come, while preserving their vintage style.
This is true with newer buildings as well – façade stabilization is not just about the past or present but protection for the future. Choosing façade stabilization from the get go can prevent numerous problems down the road and help you to know your space is sturdy and enduring. It is a technique that can be extremely important during the initial planning of your building. When it comes to structural strength it is far better to be safe than sorry at the start so you don’t have to worry about fixing potentially costly issues later on.
Façade stabilization can be very useful for masonry construction in particular because that type has more potential for eventual vulnerability. This is because of the use of materials like cement, clay, and brick, which are strong but can often experience issues like moisture expansion and drying shrinkage over time. Façade stabilization repairs or replacement (depending on your situation) can salvage some structures that were previously potentially unsafe due to poor structural support.
Stabilization works well as a solution for: lintel issues, bowed, buckled, and cracked walls, dilapidated wall ties, and veneer separation and breakdown. If your building has a façade that is coming apart from the structural wall behind it (due to a variety of reasons such as water damage), we can typically repair, replace, and/or re-anchor the veneer so that it looks as good as new, with vastly improved structural support behind it. Common veneers are brick and stone. If you are about to install a veneer and are concerned about the void between it and the structural wall, D&R Masonry Restoration can assist you by putting special ties and anchors in place in the gap to keep everything together and stabilized.
If you know your pre-existing façade has issues but aren’t sure where the main problem areas are, or what caused them, it is especially important for a team with experience to assess the situation and put forward a valuable, tailored plan. Note that even if the veneer damage displayed at a site is not inherently dangerous, it can still spoil the overall look and finish of the building.
With new technologies like carbon fiber or with more original techniques like epoxy injection – we take care to understand the construction of a building and utilize the right tools and techniques necessary for each individual job.
