Our Wall Reinforcement Methods and Techniques
We perform crack injection with specialized resins that bond masonry elements together while allowing natural movement. Rebuilding techniques address severely compromised sections by removing damaged areas and reconstructing with proper reinforcement integration. Each project incorporates drainage improvements, foundation stabilization, and seismic upgrades that meet current building standards in neighborhoods like Ukrainian Village.
Signs Your Masonry Walls Need Reinforcement
Visual inspection should identify bowing walls, significant cracks, or separation between masonry and adjacent structures that indicate structural movement requiring immediate professional assessment. Horizontal cracks often signal serious foundation issues, while stepped cracks following mortar joints suggest settlement problems.
Interior signs include stuck doors, cracked plaster, and windows that no longer operate properly due to movement. Water infiltration, efflorescence deposits, and loose bricks indicate deterioration that compromises wall integrity. Buildings near Lake Michigan face additional moisture challenges that accelerate structural problems requiring specialized reinforcement approaches throughout neighborhoods like Lincoln Park.
