Why Parapet Wall Repair is Essential
Parapet walls are vital for the structural stability and safety of your building. These low walls, often found at the edge of roofs, act as guard rails and provide protection against the elements. Over time, exposure to weather conditions and natural wear-and-tear can lead to issues such as water infiltration, cracking, and deteriorating masonry joints. Our expert parapet wall repairs ensure your building remains safe and sound.

Preventive Maintenance for Parapet Walls
Regular parapet wall maintenance is crucial to prevent future damage. Our preventive maintenance services include checking for warning signs of damage, such as water infiltration, cracking, and loose masonry. We also ensure that the roof membrane and roofing system are properly sealed to protect your building from the elements.
One of the biggest causes of damage to parapet walls is actually failed lintel beams. Lintel replacement is essential to remove rusted and failed lintels. By not doing so, they cause cracks in the nearby brickwork, allow for water penetration, and eventually cause cracks and structural shifts to the parapet wall if bad enough.
