High Rise, Condo and Apartment Masonry and Brick Repair

High Rise, Condo and Apartment Masonry and Brick Repair High-rise buildings have to deal with the worst of Canadian weather and are in constant need of inspections and maintenance. Concrete, bricks and other masonry units can spall or crumble due to ice and snow saturation. This can be a safety hazard for people and objects below and should be dealt with as quickly as possible. Due to the scope and size of apartment buildings, it can be hard to know when repairs are needed just by looking from the ground. Since these buildings are accessed by residents and the public, it’s important that regular masonry inspections and maintenance are completed properly. There is no substitute for up-close analysis from a trained technician. Rope Access and Difficult-to-Reach Masonry and Brick Repairs People are often reaching out to us regarding masonry and brick repairs on their condos or apartment complexes that require a special setup to access. Wilkens specializes in jobs accessible from the ground or with 4-5-story scaffolding. At certain heights, the only safe way to perform masonry, brick and concrete repairs is to hire trained rope access specialists. Rope access technicians are trained to work on hard-to-reach areas, safely. Different companies specialize in a variety of areas. Finding a company that can do most repairs and restorations at rope access heights would be preferable. Since Wilkens Masonry does not offer rope access solutions, we recommend a company like Precision Building Solutions for the Niagara, Hamilton, Burlington and Oakville Regions. About Precision Building Solutions Wilkens Masonry refers Precision Building Solutions for all high-rise and rope access projects. We want our clients to handle their masonry and brick repairs as safely as possible. This means hiring a trained and experienced company and working with specialized teams as needed.
