Stains on the ceiling, damp drywall under a window — masonry leaks hide their entry point. We find it, fix it at the source, and keep the water out.
Water leaks around windows and chimneys are some of the most misdiagnosed problems on a brick home. The stain shows up in one place, but the water got in somewhere else — a failed mortar joint, a cracked chimney crown, deteriorated sealant where brick meets frame, or blocked weep holes trapping water inside the wall.
Pfleger Masonry, Inc. has been finding and fixing masonry water intrusion in Arlington since 1981. We trace the leak to its actual entry point, then fix the masonry side properly: repointing failed joints, repairing crowns and sills, replacing sealant joints, and clearing weep systems so the wall can drain the way it was designed to.
Where it helps, we finish with a breathable masonry water repellent — one that blocks rain absorption without trapping moisture inside the brick. The result: dry walls, and a fix that holds through the next storm season.
We fix the masonry causes of water intrusion — not just the symptoms.

On brick homes it's usually the joint where masonry meets the window frame — failed sealant, cracked mortar, or a deteriorated sill letting water wick behind the wall. Blocked weep holes can also trap water inside the cavity until it finds a way into the house.
Often it's the chimney: a cracked crown or failed mortar joints let water into the stack, where it runs down and shows up on the ceiling. We assess the masonry side and tell you honestly if what you actually need is a roofer.
Only if absorption is the actual problem. Sealer over failed joints or a cracked crown just hides the entry point. We repair the masonry first, then apply breathable water repellent as the finishing layer — in that order, the fix lasts.
Most window and chimney leak repairs are modest jobs — repointing, sealant, and crown work rather than major reconstruction. You'll get an exact written price after the free on-site assessment.
