Brick & Masonry Problems in Oklahoma

If you have bricks or masonry on your home, especially the foundation, it is important to examine them regularly. There are several issues related to foundation failure that can often be spotted in brick or masonry. If there are cracks forming in your bricks or masonry, or if they have begun to compact, it is probably a good sign that your home is in need of foundation repair services. If you live in Oklahoma, come to Pierman Foundation Repair Services for brick or masonry repair. Our foundation repair services will keep your home safe and happy. When examining your foundation for signs of foundation failure, it is important to check the bricks and masonry for the following symptoms:

• Vertical corner cracks: Cracks that occur from around the corner of the structure and are vertical in direction are usually an indicator that there has been drying or shrinkage in the soil around your structure. This often leads to foundation sinking or settlement.
• Stair-step cracks: These stair-step shaped cracks often indicate that the foundation has started to settle or deteriorate. When this happens, the brick and masonry above will begin to settle as well.
• Horizontal cracks: Horizontal brick cracks mean that there is pressure on your foundation, causing it to shift and settle, and often leading to bowed or leaning foundation walls.
• Bulging brick or masonry walls: This is the result of a shelf angle, precipitation running down the home, or an excessive amount of groundwater.
• Compaction: If your home's foundation begins to settle or sink, the bricks in your home or foundation will start to compact down on each other.
