Get Your Masonry Work Done Before Winter!

When the weather get’s too cold, masonry restoration and repair work such as brick replacement, tuckpointing and repointing, parging and chimney repair get’s difficult to do. Unless you create an artificially heated environment, the work has to wait until there is a steadily warm forecast that allows for the mortar used in masonry restoration to properly dry and cure. If the water in masonry freezes, it interrupts the chemical process that allows it to harden.

Winter Weather

If you leave a repair too long, it can continue to deteriorate at an increased rate. It may take decades to get to a certain, manageable point and then only a matter of years to get to dire straits. When water get’s in to a partially deteriorated mortar joint, it can exponentially increase deterioration and even get behind the faces of bricks when it freezes and expands. Chimneys in particular are exposed to the worst of winter weather as they have little to no natural protection or protection from the rest of the house.
