Lintel Replacement
Rusted lintels above doors, windows, and garages cause cracking and staining. We remove failing steel, install new structural lintels, and repair the surrounding brickwork so everything looks clean and stable again.
Tension Cable Repair & Resurfacing
Exposed or corroded post-tension cables are repaired and resurfaced safely to protect the structural integrity of your slab and prevent future issues.
Structural Masonry & Leveling
We handle the structural side of masonry that most brick-only crews can't - rusted metal lintel replacement above doors, windows and garage openings; foundation corner pop repair and resurfacing; exposed tension cable repair and resurfacing; and leveling leaning walls, mailboxes, and columns by excavating beneath the foundation, jacking the structure level, and installing piers to permanently reinforce it.
Foundation Corner Pop Repair
Cracked or popping corners of your foundation are resurfaced and repaired so they blend back in and help protect against further moisture intrusion and damage.
Leaning Wall, Mailbox & Column Leveling
We excavate beneath the foundation, jack the structure back to level, and install piers to permanently stop leaning and sinking so your masonry stands straight and secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my brick mailbox leaning?
Mailboxes often lean due to shallow or insufficient foundations that succumb to Houston's shifting clay soils. Without proper depth, the heavy masonry weight causes it to sink on one side. A professional repair involves excavating, jacking the structure level, and installing deep piers to permanently stabilize the foundation against future movement.
What causes foundation corner pops?
Corner pops occur when the brick above the foundation expands due to heat or thermal movement, putting pressure on the concrete corner that lacks a proper expansion joint. While often cosmetic, these cracks can expose the rebar and tension cables to moisture. We resurface and repair these areas to restore the seal and protect your slab's structural integrity.
Is an exposed tension cable dangerous?
Yes, exposed tension cables are a high risk for corrosion. Once a cable begins to rust, it loses the tension that holds your concrete slab together, which can lead to major structural failure or cracking. Professional resurfacing and technical repair are essential to seal these cables away from oxygen and moisture, preventing a costly foundation rebuild.
