Structure Stabilization
Structural Stabilization
Deterioration of the structural components supporting terra cotta is probably the most difficult form of facade deterioration to locate and diagnose. It can also cause the biggest types of failure, often undermining the structural integrity of large sections of facade.
Structural terra cotta failures can develop due to water penetration, stresses from expansion and contraction, and fabrication defects. To successfully combat the effects of terra cotta deterioration, Pescado Stone utilizes the following structural stabilization methods as appropriate (following thorough testing and analysis):
- Repointing: Repointing of terra cotta which is severely deteriorated is one of MPS’s most useful terra cotta restoration techniques. Repointing is always carried out with a mortar that has a compressive strength lower than the adjacent masonry unit.
- Needle Pinning :We use several proven techniques to safely stabilize masonry that is surrounding a masonry repair. This is a cost effective way to repair what is needed and leave healthy masonry undisturbed .
- Minor Material Spalling Repair: Minor material spalling is treated in a manner similar to glaze spalling.
- Major Spalling Repair: Terra cotta which has spalled severely and lost most of its material and structural integrity needs to be replaced. Replacement methods are listed above.
- Repair of Structural Damage: Structural cracking, holes, or sign anchors should be permanently sealed. Holes and static cracks can be pointed or patched with appropriate proprietary patching material. Active cracks should be filled with elastomeric sealant.
