"What can I say about American Dry Basement Systems? A few years ago, our area experienced an extraordinary amount of rainfall. My backyard looked like a pond, and water was rising all the way to the back of my house. At the time, there was already some water in the basement, but I believed I had a solid plan in place to manage it—completely unaware of the damage that was about to unfold. The next day, I went downstairs to check the situation and was devastated to find nearly four feet of water filling my basement. Storage totes were floating, along with irreplaceable family artifacts that meant the world to me—pieces of history from loved ones who are no longer here. I immediately tried contacting the fire department, but I wasn’t alone in this situation; many others were dealing with flooding as well. With no other option, I had to purchase another water pump. After a grueling 10-hour ordeal, the water was finally removed. Unfortunately, the damage was already done. I lost cherishe"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.

You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).

Brick houses can last at least 100 years with minimal maintenance. With regular care and attention, including mortar repointing, brick houses can last 500 years or more.
