Capping Stone Repairs, Tuck Pointing and Restoration of a Brick Parapet Wall

Parapet walls on a brick structure will need repair, maintenance, upkeep and restoration from time to time.

It's important to evaluate this area of the home to help prevent deterioration, and degradation of the brick and mortar. Also, another symptom of an aging and deteriorating brick parapet wall can be water infiltration into the structure. Once water begins to enter the structure, you can incur substantial damage which will affect the health of the structure and the health of the inhabitants.

Parapet wall maintenance and restoration can be straight forward, but it's important to keep an eye on this area of your building, so you can plan for this maintenance since this work can be costly and time consuming.
