Chezcore, Inc. and People's Community Church have
had a long standing working relationship due to the many aspects
of the construction required by the church. Years of deterioration
and limited maintenance, caused moisture infiltration into the buildings
interior. It was found that the mortar between the stone units had
completely washed away in many areas, allowing a direct path for
water to enter the building.
The defective wall area was accessed and 100%
of the mortar was mechanically removed. The prepared mortar joints
were tuck pointed back with the proper mortar mixture matching the
original color and texture. Defective stone units were removed and
replaced with newly fabricated units, sized and hand "rock
faced" to match the original look and profile.
To understand the true conditions of the
balance of the exterior facade, a "hands on" exterior
facade inspection was also performed on the church building. Defective
areas were identified and a complete narrative report was produced,
including photographs of typical conditions found along with repair
recommendations that provided cost estimates. This information was
critical as the church plans for the long-term restoration of their
structure.
