Brick steps, stone walkways, retaining walls, and masonry porches are built to withstand years of use. However, moisture infiltration and repeated freezing and thawing can gradually weaken mortar joints and damage masonry surfaces.
For homeowners throughout Roanoke, Salem, Vinton, and Botetourt County, late fall is an important time to examine outdoor masonry.
The Warning Signs of Masonry Deterioration
Watch for cracked mortar, loose bricks, shifting steps, separating joints, and damaged concrete beneath masonry structures.
Small areas of deterioration can become more serious when water enters openings and freezes.
Over time, repeated movement can weaken the surrounding masonry and create additional repair needs.
