Brick mailbox column leaning or crumbling? Dit is wie je moet bellen
A brick mailbox column that leans, cracks, or sheds mortar is both an eyesore and a liability — a strong wind or a car bumper can topple it onto a sidewalk. The root cause is usually frost-heave, a shallow footing, or decades of water seeping into deteriorated mortar joints. A concrete mason can rebuild the footing, re-lay or repoint the brickwork, and install a proper cap to keep water out of the joints long-term.
