Steel Lintel Reconditioning & Replacement

In older brick homes and masonry buildings, steel lintels—the support structures above windows and doors—can rust and swell over time. This process, known as rust jacking, exerts extremely expansive force upwards and downwards, creating structural cracks and heaving in the adjoining masonry.

If not serviced, the deteriorating lintel will no longer support the brick or stone above and could compromise the wall's structural integrity. Replacing steel lintels is a potentially hazardous job that requires an experienced contractor.

Our team at Keystone Masonry Restoration ensures that bracing or shoring is employed to prevent catastrophic failure during the replacement process. We use the correct load-bearing size of galvanized steel lintels, flashings, end dams, and weeps. After completion, our meticulous brickwork and mortar joints blend seamlessly with the original structure, making it hard to tell if any repair work was done.

Epoxy Injections

A vital aspect of stone, pre-cast, or concrete restoration is the repair of static cracks using epoxy injection. Once the cause of the cracking has been established and it is determined that a structural or waterproofing repair is necessary, our team will recommend the epoxy injection process.

Our well-trained and experienced mechanics use only high-grade epoxies and a pumping system that conforms to industry standards. The epoxy injection process can be effectively implemented on concrete, brick, terra cotta, and stone. This method ensures that the structure's integrity is restored and the material's longevity is preserved.
