• Replacement Mortar Analysis

D. Schickel Co. will analyze your existing mortar to determine its crushing pressure, mortar color, and the color and grade of the sand that was used when your masonry was installed. Why are these important?

If a mortar that is too soft is used, it can result in rapid deterioration. It also may not be strong enough to carry the load of weight above it.

Using a mortar that is too hard can cause damage to the bricks, prevent proper bonding to the original mortar, or prevent a masonry structure from being able to breathe properly causing mold or other damage.
