At Zavza Seal LLC, we pride ourselves on delivering professional masonry repair and waterproofing services that restore both the structural integrity and aesthetic appeal of our clients’ properties. This case study highlights a recent project in Northport, NY, where our team repaired a damaged brick exterior stoop and driveway retaining wall for a local building owner.
This project reflects our commitment to providing high‑quality workmanship and long‑lasting solutions for masonry and foundation issues.
The Problem: Deteriorating Mortar and Loose Stone Panel
The property owner contacted Zavza Seal LLC to address visible damage to the building’s exterior entryway and retaining wall. Over time, the mortar joints between the bricks of the exterior stoop had become cracked, crumbling, and uneven. These gaps not only weakened the structure but also allowed moisture to penetrate, increasing the risk of further damage.
Additionally, a stone panel in the driveway retaining wall had come loose, posing both a safety hazard and a cosmetic concern. The client needed a reliable contractor to restore the masonry work to its original strength and ensure a smooth, professional finish.
The Solution: Expert Masonry Repairs by Zavza Seal LLC
Our team visited the site and conducted a detailed inspection of the stoop and retaining wall. We recommended a comprehensive repair plan to restore the integrity of both structures while improving the overall appearance of the property.
The proposed scope of work included the following steps:
Cutting and Removing Existing Mortar
We began by carefully cutting out the existing, deteriorated mortar between the bricks of the exterior stoop. Removing the old mortar was essential to prepare the surface for a strong bond with the new material.
Cleaning Out Cavities
Next, we thoroughly cleaned the cavities between the bricks to remove debris, dust, and any loose particles. This step ensured the new mortar would adhere properly and last for years to come.
Installing New Mortar Joints
Our skilled masons then installed fresh mortar into the joints, filling each gap completely and evenly. Once applied, we tooled the new mortar joints to create a neat, smooth finish that enhanced both the look and durability of the stoop.
Resetting the Loose Stone Panel
For the retaining wall, our team removed the loose stone panel, cleaned the area behind it, and reset the panel securely in place. This step restored the wall’s stability and improved its visual appeal.
The Result: A Restored and Durable Entryway
The client was highly satisfied with the results of our work. The brick exterior stoop was fully restored with clean, even mortar joints that not only improved its appearance but also protected it from further water damage. The driveway retaining wall was stabilized, and the loose stone panel was reset firmly and seamlessly.
This project highlights how Zavza Seal LLC delivers effective solutions that strengthen masonry structures and enhance curb appeal while preventing future problems caused by water intrusion and structural weaknesses.
