MASONRY or CONCRETE FENCE CRACKED / TILTED / SETTLING / DAMAGEDMASONRY or CONCRETE FENCE CRACKED / TILTED / SETTLING / DAMAGED (moderate): Masonry cracks are most often caused by settlement or seismic movement. Sometimes damage is caused by vehicular or other heavy object contact Cracks in block or concrete type fences and fences of this type which are pulling from their end supports, such as against buildings, are usually not repaired, other than filling the crack with mortar, unless the crack is weakening the fence. If this is the case it should be treated as a swaying fence. Prefab concrete fences often crack horizontally where rebar is placed These cracks ultimately weaken the fence. If the original installers can be contacted, it is recommended that you obtain their opinion as to whether the fence is endangered or beyond repair If the fence is block, brick or stone, is over three feet tall, and is in danger of falling, it should be repaired immediately Contact a Masonry or Concrete Fence Contractor for assistance if needed.
