Pillar Rebuilds
A Pillar is an important structure for your house. As a masonry column, it provides structural support to your porch roof, keeping your home stable and hazard-free. Some homes are also equipped with non-structural pillars. These pillars can add a beautiful aesthetic to the exterior of your property, complementing your home’s design and style. A correct “footing” for them will ensure that your pillar has a stable foundation and does not shift over time.
Signs Your Pillar Needs Rebuilding
While pillars provide valuable support for your home, they also sometimes need support themselves. If you ignore the condition of your pillar, you could be bringing hazardous conditions to your porch. You can inspect the condition of your pillar by looking for the following signs:
- Leaning pillars
- Spalling brick
- Missing mortar
- Damaged stone pillar caps
If you find that any of these signs might apply to your home’s pillars, it could be time to contact a professional. A licensed mason is able to inspect the pillars and confirm any doubts you might be having. They are then able to carry out the pillar rebuilding and repair, so that both your porch and home is safe and stable.
