BKM Masonry Inc crew restoring mortar joints on a residential brick wall

Leak response · chimney · facade

Main Street facades, brick steps, and garden walls rebuilt with written scopes.

Water in the chase or through a failed joint is a masonry problem, not a sweep catalog. BKM still matches mortar and documents the wall — we just lead with the leak. Downers Grove and western DuPage.
