Masonry Repair and Restoration Techniques webinar

Words: Mason ContractorsThe Mason Contractors Association of America (MCAA) will present Masonry Repair and Restoration Techniques on Wednesday, December 17, 2014, at 10:00 AM CST.

When designed, detailed and constructed correctly, masonry materials can literally last forever; however, rarely do the design assumptions, detail and construction happen perfect to specifications. Thus, repair and restoration of existing masonry is necessary. Tuck pointing versus replacing an entire section of wall based on the nature of damage, the intended use of the masonry wall or both will be discussed. How to identify when masonry needs to be fixed, techniques for repair as well as how to avoid recurring problems will be detailed.

Attendees will learn how to:
  1. Identify when masonry walls need to be repaired
  2. Determine mortar’s role in masonry repair and restoration
  3. Explore various repair methods and recognize when to use each method
  4. Avoid recurring masonry problems
Mason contractors registered for Masonry Certification will receive 3.00 credits in the Masonry Products discipline upon completion of this course.
