WHY THIS SERVICE MATTERS

Why Most Homeowners Wait Too Long

Moisture damage doesn’t happen overnight — it builds over time. By the time cracks or deterioration are visible, the damage is often already advanced.

Left Card (Prevention):

Protect Before Damage Starts
  • Stops moisture at the source
  • Prevents freeze-thaw cracking
  • Maintains insulation performance
  • Extends the life of your facade
$3,000 – $9,000 (typical range)

Right Card (Repair):

Fix Damage After It Happens
  • Repointing deteriorated mortar
  • Replacing damaged brick
  • Structural restoration work
  • More invasive and time-consuming
$15,000 – $40,000+
Prevent expensive brick repairs. Most major masonry repairs could have been avoided with early protection.

A Smarter Approach to Masonry Services

At Boreal, we focus on preventing damage — not just repairing it.

Our approach is built around protecting your brick from moisture penetration, reducing freeze-thaw stress, and extending the lifespan of your facade.

We assess each property individually and recommend the right solution based on its condition — not a one-size-fits-all service.

Signs of Masonry Deterioration

White powder deposits appearing on brick surfaces
Cracks forming in mortar joints
Dark moisture stains after rain
Brick surfaces flaking or chipping
Damp interior areas near brick walls
Mortar joints becoming recessed

If you notice any of these signs, your facade may already be absorbing moisture.

Repair vs Protection — What’s Right for Your Property?

Every property is different. We’ll assess your building and recommend the right solution based on its condition.

Surface Repairs

Best for appearance only
Small visual improvements like minor touch-ups or patching.
  • Improves how the brick looks
  • Does not fix underlying moisture issues
  • Damage will often return over time

Brick Protection

Prevent damage before it starts
Protecting your brick from moisture so it doesn’t deteriorate in the first place.
  • Stops water from entering the brick
  • Prevents cracks and long-term damage
  • Extends the life of your facade
  • Most cost-effective over time

Repairing Damaged Brick

When damage has already started
Fixing cracks, deteriorating mortar, and areas where the brick is already breaking down.
  • Repairs joints and spalling brick
  • Needed when moisture has already caused deterioration
  • More expensive because damage has progressed
