An Easy Guide for Building Restoration in Toronto

Brick walls are preferred by many people primarily because they are strong and durable. However, they too have a life span. Brick walls can't endure the problem of too much moisture.

This exposure can happen due to frost action in extreme cold climates, especially in the chimneys and parapet. Damage can also be a result of leaking gutters or salt crystallization. Sometimes internal factors like removing a heavy door or window or roots of the trees, digging deep in the basement can also be a reason for the damage. In older houses, walls are often made from lime mortar, repairing them with cement mortar, often makes them vulnerable to internal damage.

Determing the root of the trouble is important before treating the problem, failing which the problem, will likely resurface once again. If your walls are suffering from water related problem, determine the source. If the problem is related to ground water, dig down a drain and apply waterproof sealer to protect the walls. If your building is more than a century old, using a soft lime motor for reporting will be a good idea. In case the bricks are too worn out, they can be removed and replaced with new ones. Finding an exact replica might not be possible, but there are many companies, who manufacture good enough bricks which can serve the purpose of damage restoration in Toronto.

Appling waterproof paint can damage the walls significantly as it might trap moisture in the body of the walls. Applying just plaster on the interior of the walls and lead cladding on the exterior are some of the prudent ways to provide protection to the brick walls.
