But who do you call when the actual structure of your home needs attention—when the bricks themselves have issues? That’s when you call Michener Masonry for help. Common problems like cracks that radiate out from the corners of windows and doors appear because of worn-out angle irons (steel bars bridging the tops of windows and doors to carry the weight of the bricks above them). Over time, angle irons can rust, swell and crack the surrounding brickwork. Weak mortar is another area of concern. Constant abuse from the elements can erode mortar. In hard-to-inspect areas, like chimneys, homeowners may not even know there’s a problem until a brick falls or water starts showing up in the home. If not taken care of, these areas can and will let moisture and water in, and heat out. The longer they’re left untreated, the worse the damage can be. 38 724.942.0940 TO ADVERTISE ❘ icmags.com Michener Masonry has been helping homeowners in the Greater Pittsburgh area solve these problems for more than 25 years, and offers results at affordable prices.
