Cold weather can turn small masonry issues into much bigger repairs. As temperatures drop, keep an eye on your chimney and concrete for signs of damage like cracked or missing mortar, loose bricks, water staining, chimney cap damage, widening concrete cracks, flaking surfaces, uneven sections, and salt or freeze-thaw wear.
Catching these problems early can help prevent moisture from getting in and making the damage worse through the winter. Notice any of these warning signs around your home? Send Cougar Masonry a message for a free estimate.
