1. Cracks: Cracks in masonry can be a sign of structural issues or water damage. If the cracks are wider than 1/8 inch, it's best to have them inspected by a professional.
2. Efflorescence: Efflorescence is the white powdery substance that appears on masonry surfaces due to water absorption. It can be a sign of moisture infiltration and can cause masonry to deteriorate over time.
3. Leaks: Water leaks can damage masonry over time. Look for signs of water infiltration, such as stains on walls or ceilings, mold growth, or a musty odor.
4. Loose or missing mortar: Mortar holds masonry materials together, and if it's missing or loose, it can compromise the integrity of the structure.
5. Bulging or leaning walls: If a masonry wall is bulging or leaning, it may be a sign of structural damage that needs to be addressed.
6. Crumbling or missing bricks or stones: If individual bricks or stones are crumbling or missing, it can weaken the overall structure and cause rapid deterioration to the surrounding areas.
If you notice any of these signs, it's best to have a professional masonry contractor like Mike's Masonry and Creation inspect your masonry to determine the extent of the damage and the best course of action to repair it.
Masonry sealer is a type of protective coating that is applied to masonry surfaces, such as brick, stone, concrete, or stucco. It is designed to prevent water, moisture, and other contaminants from penetrating the surface of the masonry, which can cause damage and deterioration over time.
This is particularly important in areas with high levels of precipitation or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, which can cause significant damage to unprotected masonry.
