My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Sealing Cracks in Stonework and Brick Mortar

20 years ago

Hi,

I have some cracks I'd like sealed in some stonework and brick mortar (caused by settling in my new home). Can I just use regular mortar or should I try som sort of sealer (I'm not sure that it's done settling).

Thanks,

Frank
