Epoxies and synthetic repair materials can cause long term problems within the wall. First, the epoxy distorts the load distributions of the wall. The high-strength epoxy inclusion loads in a different manner than weaker masonry. This is particularly true in the case of historic masonry. Moreover, epoxy blocks vapor transmission, creating problems that lead to long term deterioration of the wall system. Moreover, epoxy performs poorly in the event of a fire and is less forgiving with regard to installation.

Masonry Solutions International, Inc. only injects materials that are sympathetic to the original structure’s characteristics. These are typically cement or lime based and have the same material characteristics as the host wall. This careful compatibility testing insures the same strengths, load distributions, and vapor transmission as the host wall.
