What Are The Main Issues? Again masonry is meant to be ultra durable. When we get called about a masonry repair job, the issue itself is usually not an age problem. The problems that we tend to see involve either moisture penetrating through the masonry, some sort of external factor. For example, if you have a vehicle run into your wall or something like that. Of course, retaining walls not being able to hold up. Also, there are times where you find some chipped bricks or things of that nature. Those are also solvable problems!
