CMR’s brick repair services address many issues Housing Authorities face when maintaining their multifamily housing units. We work with Housing Authorities in Massachusetts, especially in the Boston and Worcester areas, resolving these issues. Among the faults our our fully licensed and insured associates repair are:

• Cracking
  Do you notice “lattice work” lines in your building’s brick work? Those cracks you notice along mortar joints may be the result of foundation problems. Sometimes other factors are involved, including design flaws, deterioration, or settlement. Your problem may be the result of a combination of factors. CMR will inspect the problem and propose a plan of action to remedy the situation with our brick repair services  .
• Chimney concerns
  Over time, brick masonry repair is usually needed on this ubiquitous facet of a property. Chimneys are indeed self-supporting structures. But, if that support fails in any way then the rest of the building may be affected. A chimney presents special challenges. It’s longer, stands taller, and has a narrower foundation compared to the rest of the structure. Contact us before you have a “problem within a problem.”
• Leaning
  If any part of a building is leaning inward or outward, it is a clear sign something is seriously wrong, and needs immediate attention. If it looks as though a portion of a wall, chimney, or foundation could tip or crumble at any moment, call us. CMR is available to provide emergency brick repair services.
• Unsecured walls
  This is also a dire situation in which brick masonry repair is needed ASAP! No matter the situation – perhaps you have recently purchased the property and want it restored, or you finally have the funding for necessary services – our fast attention will stabilize your property. A disconnected wall is hardly reliable and presents a clear and present danger to your tenants.
• Leaks
  If a leak has sprouted in your walls this may result in multiple problems. Leaks cannot be allowed to remain for any period of time without the progressive deterioration of a building. We will put our years of experience into remedying this problem. Call CMR to talk about our waterproofing services.
• Stains
  Have you cared for your bricks lately? If not, you may be missing out on the full potential of this material’s dynamic beauty. There is no substitute for the historic appeal of brick, which is why we urge you to not let staining obstruct your building’s potential. We have various methods of letting walls shine on their own, including repointing.
