If your 100 year old house needs brick repair, take comfort in knowing that newer buildings – with OBC complaint drainage – have problems too. In particular a new building near our office in Kensington Market already needed lintel repairs. The irony was the name of the company doing the work on this new building, “Historic Restoration.”
This 20 year old building on Baldwin St in Kensington Market, is already in need of repair. The brick in nearly every lintel was re-built, likely due to poor flashing detail.
