"Brock came out for an inspection of my leaky basement and gave me the most thorough and honest report I?ve ever seen for this kind of work. I?ve had a few other projects completed in my house (roof repair, central air installation), and Groundwork?s is the first company where I don?t feel like I need to get multiple opinions. I trust them wholeheartedly and can?t wait to have a water-free basement thanks to them!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

In certain cases, such as when dealing with surfaces like concrete rather than brick, grout can be used instead of mortar. Grout tends to be more convenient to work with on non-masonry surfaces. However, many experts suggest using mortar whenever possible, as it provides stronger adherence to the bricks and results in a more textured appearance.

Yes, technically, you can pressure wash the paint off of brick. However, you run a much greater risk of damaging the brick and causing serious problems. If you go this route, you’ll still need to carefully choose and apply a chemical paint stripper before washing, following all instructions on the product packaging. Set your power washer to a low pressure to avoid damage.

Exterior brick stain can last between 10 and 20 years, on average. A number of factors can impact the longevity of the stain though, including your location and climate. Other factors like the condition of your brick, the quality of stain you choose, and the overall stain type can also alter how long your bricks look new.
