Brick by Brick: Saving the Bell Tower from Water Damage

 Wellington Dr, Kaysville, UT, US, 84037

We at EagleRidge Roofing and Construction recently took on a unique and intricate project—repairing water-damaged mortar on the bricks of a historic bell tower. Over time, exposure to harsh weather conditions like rain, snow, and humidity caused the mortar between the bricks to deteriorate, compromising both the structure’s stability and its aesthetic appeal.

Our process began with a thorough assessment of the bell tower to identify areas where water had seeped into the mortar, causing cracks and erosion. We carefully removed the damaged mortar using precision tools to avoid harming the surrounding bricks. Once the old mortar was cleared, we applied a high-quality, water-resistant mortar specifically designed to withstand future moisture exposure while blending seamlessly with the towers original appearance.

This restoration not only reinforced the bell tower’s structural integrity but also preserved its historical charm. Projects like these highlight the importance of regular maintenance and timely repairs to prevent long-term damage in brick structures, especially those exposed to the elements.

Stay tuned for more updates on this fascinating project as we preserve history one brick at a time.
