Best Lay Masonry And Restoration | Masonry & Damage Restoration in Washington, PA

After a storm flood, we first assess the extent of water intrusion. For wet insulation, we remove and replace it to prevent mold and structural rot. For masonry walls, we dry them using commercial-grade dehumidifiers and fans, then inspect for cracks or spalling. If the mortar is compromised, we repoint or replace affected bricks or stones. Our goal is to restore the building’s envelope so it’s dry, safe, and resistant to future storms.

Yes, we offer thorough fireplace and chimney cleaning as part of our chimney sweep services. We recommend an annual inspection and cleaning, especially before winter. We remove creosote buildup, check for cracks in the flue, and ensure the damper operates properly. In older Washington homes, we often find deteriorating mortar that needs repointing to keep the chimney safe and efficient.

Absolutely. We repair retaining walls of all types—stone, brick, or concrete block. Cracks often result from freeze-thaw cycles or poor drainage, both common in our area. We stabilize the wall by replacing damaged stones, injecting epoxy into cracks, and improving backfill drainage. If the wall is leaning, we may rebuild it with proper footings. We’ve worked on many walls near college neighborhoods and ensure the repair blends with the existing masonry.
