01 Findings

What was wrong

The brick facade was leaking, and the conventional quote for a problem like this is full removal — an enormous cost. The owner needed to know whether the structure could be saved.

02 Corrective Work

What we did

A thorough inspection confirmed the structure was free of dry rot, which meant the original brick could be preserved. We applied multiple waterproofing layers over the facade, then finished with a final color coat to seal and unify the surface.

03 Outcome

Where it stands

The facade was effectively sealed and its durability restored — at a fraction of the cost of demolition. The brick the owner wanted to keep is still there, and the water stays out.
