Freeze damage
Freeze damage repair
Houston doesn’t freeze often, but when it does, water trapped in brick, mortar, and concrete expands and breaks things. Burst pipes cause even more damage inside the walls.
We repair freeze-cracked brick, mortar, chimneys, and concrete, rebuild after burst-pipe water damage, and check your masonry before winter so small problems don’t get bigger.

Questions
Frequently asked
Why does a freeze crack brick?
Water inside the brick or mortar expands as it freezes and breaks the material from inside.
When should I have my masonry checked?
In the fall, before the first freeze, so open joints and cracked crowns can be fixed while it’s dry.
