🍂🧱 As freezing temperatures approach, fall is the ideal time to inspect and maintain your property's masonry. Fixing small issues now can help prevent costly damage during the Midwest's winter freeze-thaw cycles.
Here are a few important things to check:
👉 Inspect mortar joints: Look for cracked, crumbling, or missing mortar and loose bricks.
👉 Address needed repairs: Repoint damaged mortar joints and repair cracks before freezing temperatures arrive.
👉 Clean masonry surfaces: Remove dirt, debris, moss, and other buildup.
👉 Check caulking and flashing: Look for gaps or deterioration around windows, doors, and transitions.
👉 Manage water drainage: Clear gutters and downspouts to keep water away from masonry surfaces and foundations.
