Your Morton Grove Masonry Experts
Morton Grove's ranch homes and split-levels were built during the 1950s-1970s suburban expansion, creating a community of solid brick homes that are now 50-70 years old. Situated 18 miles from our Libertyville headquarters, Morton Grove is one of our closest Cook County service areas.
Morton Grove's post-war homes are entering the window where mortar maintenance becomes critical. North-facing walls that have stayed damp for decades are showing advanced erosion, chimney flashing installed 60 years ago has failed, and garage walls built with economy-grade materials are cracking. The mature tree canopy throughout Morton Grove adds shade and moisture retention that accelerates these problems. Addressing them now with proper tuckpointing prevents water from reaching the wall structure, where repair costs multiply.
When you call Delta Masonry, you're calling your neighbors. We live here, we work here, and we take pride in preserving Morton Grove's homes and buildings for the next generation.

Common Masonry Problems in Morton Grove
North-facing wall deterioration
Morton Grove ranch homes and split-levels have long north-facing walls that receive minimal direct sunlight. These walls stay damp longer after rain and snowmelt, and the persistent moisture accelerates mortar erosion. North walls typically need tuckpointing 10-15 years before the south-facing walls on the same home.
Chimney flashing failure
After 60 years, the original flashing where chimneys meet the roofline has corroded or separated. Failed flashing allows water to enter at the roof-chimney junction, causing interior water damage and accelerating mortar deterioration on the chimney itself.
Garage wall cracking and mortar failure
Attached and detached garages in Morton Grove were often built with less attention to mortar quality than the main house. After 60 years, garage walls show advanced mortar erosion and cracking, especially on the side facing prevailing weather.
