Common Lintel Damages Found in Manhattan Properties
Older Manhattan buildings often contain masonry openings with architectural details that property owners want to retain. Moisture can cause steel corrosion or masonry deterioration, which needs regular maintenance and prompt repairs.
- Cracked Mortar Joints: Fractured joints let moisture in and weaken the surrounding masonry.
- Brick Displacement: Bricks that have shifted or moved out of their alignment.
- Deteriorated Lintels: Damaged lintels that may affect the stability of masonry above openings.
- Repeated Water Staining: Recurring marks that may indicate ongoing moisture entry.
- Visible Steel Corrosion: Rusted steel components showing signs of corrosion and material deterioration.
The objective is to correct the support condition while keeping the repaired opening visually compatible with the surrounding building.
