WBS owner and moisture intrusion repair specialist, Bob Kelly, has evaluated over 400 buildings around Chicago. Over the years, he has evaluated 15 single family homes and 5 multi-family buildings in Old Town.

One of multi-family buildings, which was built in the late 1800s, had a wall that was literally separating from the building, leaning toward the building next door. Bob devised a structural support system for the building, and the masonry contractor took the wall down and rebuilt it. All is well. Click to see pictures of the repair in progress.

If your masonry walls are cracking, spalling or flaking, your parapets likely need to be vented. The capstones, metal copings or clay tiles on top of your parapet walls may be leaking, causing the parapet walls to become wet and leak into the walls and your home or your masonry walls may need tuckpointing or re-pointing. Give us a call and have a building evaluation performed so you can keep your building dry and plan for any necessary repairs.
