Call for Effective Masonry Maintenance Plans in Northfield

All buildings require maintenance. Masonry buildings may seem to be maintenance free because they last for hundreds of years. But make no mistake, to remain issue-free, safe and dry, masonry buildings need maintenance. Every 30 years or so, historic masonry buildings need to have the mortar ground out of the mortar joints and re-pointed with lime mortar. Masonry buildings built after 1950 need maintenance every 20 years or so, depending on the craftsmanship. But masonry buildings built since 1990 need specialized services to mitigate water and moisture intrusion. Buildings built with split face block and other modern masonry products like "jumbo brick" which is brick-colored concrete and "Renaissance Stone" which is pre-cast concrete need maintenance more often than buildings constructed with common brick or buildings with a brick facade and block structural wall. WickRight General Contracting offers excellent split face block and pre-cast concrete maintenance services at reasonable prices in Northfield. Call 312-720-1467 today for an estimate.


Northfield's Most Trusted Masonry Sealant Installers

Not all masonry buildings require sealant, but if you own a building built after 1990, chances are at least one wall is constructed with modern materials like split face block or jumbo block, the parapet walls may have be finished with capstones that look like limestone, but are actually Renaissance Stone or pre-cast concrete or there are decorative details on the building that look like limestone, but are actually Renaissance Stone or pre-cast concrete. All of these modern materials are highly porous and prone to absorbing rain water which moves through these materials and into your building. If your Northfield home is experiencing mysterious leaks, give WickRight General Contracting a call 312-720-1467. Your building may need parapet ventilation installed, custom flashings designed to divert bulk water and masonry sealant to help the mortar and the block resist moisture intrusion and wind driven rain. WickRight General Contracting installs masonry sealants, including clear sealants, like Chemtrete, Prosoco and various elastomeric paints, like Modac, sometimes called "plugger" paints.


Highly Experienced Split Face Block Repair in Northfield

Some masonry buildings built in Northfield since 1990 are wet. These wet buildings need specialized services to mitigate water and moisture intrusion and to dry out. Buildings built with split face block and other modern masonry products like "jumbo brick"  and "Renaissance Stone" need custom flashing and parapet ventilation to release moisture trapped in the building's walls and roof system. We recommend installing WickRight passive ventilation on buildings built with split face block, concrete block, jumbo block and Renaissance Stone or precast concrete. Buildings built with split face block, concrete block, jumbo block also need to be sealed with masonry sealant. Renaissance stone and pre-cast concrete are difficult to seal, so we suggest covering these details with sheet metal or designing custom flashings to divert water and rain away from these materials. WickRight General Contracting offers excellent split face block and pre-cast concrete repair services in Northfield at reasonable prices. Call 312-720-1467 today for an estimate.
