  • What are some common masonry problems?

    Common masonry problems that property owners may encounter include:

    •  Brick spalling – This occurs when moisture causes the surface of bricks to peel or flake off, weakening the structure over time.
    • Mortar deterioration – Over time, weather and age can cause mortar joints to crack or crumble, affecting the stability of the wall.
    • Sandstone erosion – Soft natural stones like sandstone are prone to gradual wearing due to wind and rain exposure.
    • Algae growth – Damp conditions can lead to algae on masonry surfaces, which not only looks unsightly but may also trap moisture.
    • Efflorescence – This white, powdery deposit appears when water evaporates from the surface, leaving behind salt residue.
