When water is allowed to seep into old brick binding mortar it gets into the brick as well and compromises the overall masonry. Bricks, that are starting to flake off and look to be disintegrating are no longer capable of actively supporting the structure, need to be replaced. BOREK RENOVATION can effectively replace the damaged brick to prevent this sort of problem from becoming a potential catastrophe. Our company always tries to match up your existing brick to make our work look as seamless to the original as possible. Contact us today for an estimate on brick replacement on your parapet wall, facades, and firewalls.

New multiunit construction is rampant though out the Chicagoland area. As a result, in the rush to finish these projects there have been a great amount of flaws where the initial construction crews have over looked the fact that split face blocks used in so many of these buildings are not waterproof and need to be protected in some manner in order to ensure that water doesn’t seep through. BOREK RENOVATION has devised a solution for protecting these sorts of buildings from future damage. Contact us for more info.

Tuckpointing is an important aspect to the protection and aesthetic beauty of your building. Look for cracked, flaking, or missing mortar between bricks as a sign of this damage. To protect your home from the elements, let BOREK RENOVATION skillfully repair these damages. The process we go through is to remove the previous mortar joints to a depth up to 3/4” –then refilling it with fresh mortar which will provide a water resistant seal.

The Lintel, I-Beam, and C-Channel are crucial to the structural integrity of every building. These steel items are used to allow for openings in all masonry walls. If your building has windows and doors, you have lintels. If you’ve noticed parts of your masonry starting to sag, crack or even begin to fall off, you need to address this problem as soon as possible! 

Lintels need to be replaced if they are compromised by the elements because cracking and breaking of brick is the direct result of water soaking into your bricks and causing the lintel to rust and expand, this is slowly pushing out and causing pressure on your masonry work. - let BOREK RENOVATION help!

A chimney can be used as the most basic “litmus” test in showing telltale signs that your building needs masonry and mortar work. Left exposed to the elements, a chimney will eventually begin to crack and fail after many years of literal erosion from the wind, rain, ice and snow. Once cracking begins, if left alone you run the risk of a dangerous scenario where falling bricks and a disintegrating base may occur. If you notice bricks to be flaking, dusty, disintegrating (brick or mortar), or worse missing pieces, it is time to repair and perhaps consider rebuilding. BOREK RENOVATION can assess these damages and make recommendations.

Waterproofing is detrimental to protecting your building from driving wind and rain. If you live in a stone, split block or brick building you should consider covering the walls with a sealant to protect them after the repair process has been completed. BOREK RENOVATION uses acrylic based water proofing agents applied to the walls that will protect your building from all assaults on water for many years. This can be applied in either a clear, undetectable film or in a variety of colors, whichever you choose.

An open caulk joint can mean big trouble if water is allowed to consistently soak in to the brick. BOREK RENOVATION will meticulously go over the exterior of your building and seal all potential leaks to ensure that future damage will not occur. We use a variety of sealants to fit each individual job. Feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this important service!

Eventually all concrete based structures need to be either repaired or re-poured based on the amount of damage that has occurred over the years. Be it the base of a building, a garage or patio base - once standing water, ice, or salt gets soaked into them, cracking occurs and crumbling results.

It is important to detect these problems early on because once the damage is allowed to seep into the underlying steel support infrastructure things can get worse causing you to have to completely reconstruct certain elements as opposed to the less evasive resurfacing approach.

BOREK RENOVATION can assess your concrete structural needs and recommend the proper treatment to protect it from future damage. In most cases if the problem is treated early on we can patch the problem areas and cover it with a protective BASF COATINGS. Consider using BOREK RENOVATION for high-rise buildings, parking ramps, concrete balconies, and garage floors.
