Water infiltration through brick and block walls

About this service
What commercial masonry contractors Milwaukie OR do
Commercial masonry contractors Milwaukie OR build and repair the brick, block and stone that carries a commercial building. That means laying concrete block walls, setting brick veneer, pouring reinforced footings, tuckpointing mortar joints and rebuilding chimneys, planters and retaining walls. We work off engineered drawings, follow IBC and ASTM Masonry Standards, and build so the wall drains, breathes and stays plumb for decades.
Milwaukie commercial properties sit in a wet, mild climate that punishes bad mortar and trapped water. We see spalling brick, efflorescence, crumbling brickwork and settling walls on buildings along Lake Road and in the Milwaukie Riverfront district every season. If you have been searching commercial masonry services in Milwaukie Oregon, we start with a moisture and structural read, then quote the repair before anything gets torn out.

What's included
What our commercial masonry service includes
Every commercial masonry project starts with an on-site inspection and a written scope. From there we cover materials, labor, disposal and cleanup. Add-ons like structural engineering, permits or historic review are quoted separately when your building needs them.
✓
On-site inspection
We probe mortar, check for spalling brick, water infiltration and settling, and look at footings or foundations. You get photos and a written condition report before any work is priced.
✓
Materials and matching
Brick, block, stone, mortar and reinforcing steel are ordered to match your building. We source from Mutual Materials, Oldcastle and Glen-Gery so the repair blends instead of standing out.
✓
Demolition and prep
Failed brick, mortar and block are cut out with an angle grinder, chisel and hammer. We protect adjacent surfaces, control dust and haul debris off site.
✓
Build and repair
Masons lay block, set brick and stone, rebuild chimneys and pour footings. We check plumb with a mason's level and keep joints consistent with a jointing tool and mason's line.
✓
Waterproofing and flashing
We install flashing, weep holes and sealants so water exits the wall. This is what stops efflorescence, spalling and water infiltration from coming back next winter.
✓
Cleanup and warranty
Joints are struck, the wall is washed and the site is swept. You get finished-work photos and a workmanship warranty, plus a maintenance note on what to watch each spring.
How it works
How our masonry process works
01
Call and scope
Call (855) 947-9500 and tell us what is failing. We ask for photos, building age and access notes, then book a site visit. Most Milwaukie commercial estimates happen within two business days, and the visit takes 30 to 60 minutes.
02
Inspection and quote
On site we probe the mortar, check for spalling brick and water infiltration, and look at the footing or foundation. You get a line-item quote covering materials, labor and disposal. No surprise add-ons after the wall is open.
03
Materials and staging
We order brick, block, mortar and reinforcing steel, then stage the site so your business keeps running. Deliveries are scheduled around your hours. A typical commercial repoint job uses 40 to 80 bags of mortar and 2 to 4 pallets of material.
04
Build and repair
Masons lay block, set brick, rebuild chimneys and pour footings. We keep the mason's line tight, check plumb with a mason's level and cut every unit with a wet saw or angle grinder. Most jobs run three days to three weeks depending on square footage.
05
Cleanup and walkthrough
We strike joints, wash the wall, haul debris and walk the job with you. You get photos of the finished work and a workmanship warranty. If anything needs a touch-up in the first year, we come back and fix it.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians — so the job is done accurately the first time.
Trowel and mason's level
Used to spread mortar and check every course for plumb and level. A wall that is out of level at the base only gets worse as it rises.
Angle grinder and wet saw
Cuts brick, block and stone cleanly. The wet saw handles large units and the grinder handles tuckpointing and tight cuts.
Jointing tool and mason's line
The jointing tool shapes mortar joints for weather resistance, and the mason's line keeps courses straight across the wall.
Mortar hoe and mixing tub
Blends mortar, sand and water to the right consistency. We mix Quikrete and Sakrete products to spec for the wall type.
Brick tongs and brick hammer
Brick tongs carry multiple units safely, and the brick hammer cuts and taps brick to fit around openings and corners.
Chisel and hammer
Removes failed mortar and brick during repair work without damaging surrounding units. Essential for historic masonry restoration.
Real results
Before and after.
Downtown storefront repoint
Before
A 1920s brick retail building had crumbling mortar, spalling brick and water staining on the interior wall after every storm. About 40 units were spalled and 600 linear feet of joint had failed.
After
We replaced 40 brick units, repointed 600 linear feet with matched lime mortar and repaired the flashing. The wall has stayed dry through two winters and the interior staining stopped.
Lake Road block wall rebuild
Before
A warehouse loading wall had settled and cracked, with a 2-inch lean and water coming through the base. The wall failed inspection and could not carry the intended load.
After
We demolished and rebuilt 120 linear feet of reinforced CMU with new footings, grout and drainage. The wall passed inspection and is plumb within a quarter inch over its height.
Riverfront chimney and fireplace
Before
A restaurant chimney leaked into the dining room and the outdoor fireplace smoked badly. The crown was cracked and the firebox was out of spec.
After
We rebuilt the crown, repointed the stack, flashed the chimney and rebuilt the firebox with firebrick. The leak stopped and the fireplace draws correctly, so the patio is usable into fall.

Ask a pro →↗
Spalling brick and mortar joint deterioration
We cut out spalled units, replace them with matched brick and repoint with the correct mortar. On a typical commercial wall we replace 20 to 60 units and repoint 300 to 800 linear feet of joint.
Cracked foundation and settling walls
We excavate, repair or rebuild the foundation wall, add drainage and waterproof the exterior. We also install reinforcing steel and grout where the engineer specifies.
Chimney leaks and efflorescence
We rebuild crowns, repoint stacks and flash the chimney correctly. Efflorescence is cleaned and the source of moisture is corrected so it does not return.
