Waterproofing & Water Damage Services at 777 Masonry Brick Corp
Waterproofing and addressing water damage are crucial for maintaining the longevity and integrity of your masonry structures. At 777 Masonry Brick Corp, we specialize in protecting your property from Chicago’s unpredictable weather and repairing the effects of water infiltration. Our expert team provides comprehensive waterproofing solutions tailored to your masonry needs, ensuring your brick, stone, or concrete remains strong and visually appealing for years to come.
Why is Waterproofing Important?
Masonry materials like brick, stone, and mortar are porous and can absorb water over time. Without proper waterproofing, your property may suffer from:
- Cracking and spalling due to freeze-thaw cycles in cold weather.
- Mold and mildew growth caused by trapped moisture.
- Weakening of structural integrity, leading to costly repairs.
- Efflorescence, the white powdery deposits caused by salt leaching.
Waterproofing acts as a barrier, protecting your property from these common issues and extending its lifespan.
Types of Masonry Waterproofing Services
01. Surface Sealants
We apply high-quality sealants to brick, stone, or concrete surfaces to create a water-resistant barrier. These sealants are ideal for preventing moisture penetration while maintaining the natural appearance of your masonry.
02. Waterproof Coatings
For areas exposed to extreme weather or heavy moisture, we use waterproof coatings. These are thicker, more durable solutions that provide long-term protection for walls, foundations, and chimneys.
03. Crack and Joint Repairs
Cracks and gaps in mortar joints are common entry points for water. Our team repairs and seals these openings using advanced materials to restore the structural integrity and protect against leaks.
04. Flashing Installation and Repairs
Flashing is critical for directing water away from vulnerable areas like windows, doors, and chimneys. We install or repair flashing to prevent water from seeping into your masonry.
05. Drainage Solutions
In addition to waterproofing, we provide drainage solutions such as weep holes and grading adjustments to ensure water flows away from your masonry, reducing the risk of standing water.
06. Basement Waterproofing
We specialize in basement waterproofing for both interior and exterior walls. This includes the application of vapor barriers, sump pumps, and waterproof coatings to prevent moisture infiltration and keep your basement dry.
