The Lifespan of Masonry: Built to Endure, but Not Invincible
Masonry is designed to be one of the most enduring forms of construction. When built with quality materials and true craftsmanship, it should age gracefully — developing a character that tells the story of the home’s history.
However, not all masonry is created equally. Over the years, we have seen a wide range of conditions:
- Some structures simply need a careful touch-up to last another century.
- Others, due to poor workmanship or cheap materials, have rapidly deteriorated and now require serious intervention.
Common Causes of Masonry Damage
Nature, weathering, and time can take a significant toll. Some common culprits behind aging masonry include:
- Weathering and moisture infiltration
- Soil movement and shifting foundations
- Freeze-thaw cycles causing cracks and spalling
- Poor initial construction or use of low-quality materials
Left unattended, even small masonry issues can escalate into major structural problems that threaten the safety, beauty, and value of your home.
