Structural Safety
PREVENTING DANGEROUS MASONRY FAILURES
Chimneys perform vital safety functions, and their simple appearance misrepresents their complex construction requirements. Weather-damaged masonry systems, loose materials, and structural deterioration all present serious threats to Midcoast homes and families.
Loose Masonry Materials
Water Infiltration Damage
Foundation Settlement
The Smart Choice
We've seen too many emergency calls caused by neglected masonry work. Loose bricks, damaged crowns, and water infiltration create both immediate safety hazards and long-term structural problems. Regular masonry maintenance prevents emergencies and protects your family's safety.
