Most Common Causes of Masonry Damage

Masonry is one of the most durable construction methods for the preservation of your building’s exterior. It not only makes the exterior look attractive but also increases the value of your property. Although masonry materials such as brick, stone, etc., are highly durable, they start to wear out over time and require repair and maintenance services. Masonry repair is a complex process, especially when it comes to restoration of the old buildings’ masonry. Therefore, it is best to leave the job to highly skilled and experienced professionals. Top Pro Construction LLC has a team of professional contractors with more than 17 years of experience providing reliable construction services across New Jersey. We offer reliable commercial and residential masonry repair and maintenance services to keep your property at its absolute best.
Masonry damages may occur due to several factors. Following are some of the most common causes of masonry damages:

Water leakage

Water leakage is among the most significant threats for both residential and commercial properties. It may cause major damages to your property’s structural integrity. The moisture from water leakage can easily penetrate your brick or stone masonry, and over time it will weaken your property and cause cracks and other damages. This type of damage may not be visible initially, but professional masonry contractors specialize in identifying such hidden damages and providing effective restoration solutions.

Cracks

The years of wear and tear due to harsh weather conditions, lack of maintenance, and other environmental factors may contribute to many masonry issues such as cracks. Cracks are a common problem as a result of environmental exposure in most cases. Proper repair and maintenance can help extend the lifespan of the masonry. Our masonry contractor usually inspects the building to identify any cracks before they turn into a more serious problem.

Loss of adhesion

Different types of masonry materials are affixed on your property’s exterior using different kinds of industrial-grade adhesives. Moisture, environmental factors, and harsh weather conditions may lead to loss of adhesion over time. It can result in peeling, hollow patches, and flaking of the masonry layers. It is highly recommended to hire professional masonry contractors for an inspection at least once every year to ensure proper maintenance and longevity of your property’s masonry.

Fading and staining

It is natural for your masonry to start fading and become stained due to sun exposure and other intangible environmental factors. While you cannot prevent your masonry from fading or staining, you can always hire expert masonry professionals to replace/restore the masonry to enhance your property’s curb appeal.

Tips to prepare your roof for the rainy season

While rain rejuvenates nature and makes everything refreshing, it can be devastating for your home. The rainy season brings a new set of challenges for your home such as the risk of water leakage, roof damage, overflowing gutters, and more. Heavy rainfall can lead to severe roof damages, especially when your roof isn’t adequately prepared for the upcoming season. Of course, scheduling an inspection from an experienced, licensed roofing contractor is one of the most effective ways to assess your roofing requirements and safeguard it against the upcoming harsh rainy season. However, there are certain things that homeowners can do to ensure their roof is prepared to withstand what the rainy season may have in store for it.
Top Pro Construction LLC has over 17 years of experience providing reliable residential and commercial roofing services across New Jersey. Our team specializes in handling almost any kind of roofing issue and providing effective solutions for clients.

Following are a few tips to help prepare your roof for the upcoming rainy season and protect it against the adverse effects of the weather:

Gutter cleaning and repair

There is a higher chance for the gutter and drainage system to get clogged and overflow during heavy rainfall. It can not only cause severe water damage to your roof but also has the potential to deteriorate your siding. A clean gutter will facilitate the smooth flow of water and prevent water damage to your roof.

Check roof shingles

During rainstorms and harsh winds, your roof is vulnerable to damages such as cracked or dislodge shingles. If there are any damaged or loose shingles on your roof, it may allow the water and moisture to penetrate your roof, cause dampness and leakage or severe water damage, and pose a serious threat to your family’s safety. Therefore, it is best to consult with a professional roof contractor to assess any potential roofing problems and take preventive measures to ensure your roof is appropriately weatherproof.

Schedule a Professional Inspection

A roof inspection is essential for safety concerns during the rainy season. There are many factors that may directly or indirectly affect your roof. It is best to schedule a comprehensive inspection of your gutter, roofing, siding, masonry, and chimney by licensed professionals. An inspection will not only ensure your family’s safety but also prevent expensive roof repairs and replacements later. Our professional contractors are well experienced in identifying any potential hazards and hidden problems that may put you or your home at risk.

Check your siding

If your siding gets damaged during the rainy season, it may allow water to penetrate your roof and jeopardize your roof’s structural integrity. Therefore, it is best to conduct a visual inspection, and if you notice any cracks or damages, it is recommended to get them fixed immediately. Our roofing contractors are well aware of all the potential risks to your roof during the rainy season and would also inspect your siding to make sure the panels are securely in place.

Waterproof your chimney

Chimney problems make your roof extremely vulnerable to damages during the rainy season. Therefore, you should always make sure to get proper chimney cap installation from licensed professionals. It is also essential to get a chimney inspection to ensure there are no damages or cracks in the chimney, which may allow the rain to penetrate your roof and walls. It is not possible for homeowners to visually inspect the inside of the chimney themselves. Therefore, it is best to hire expert professionals for this job.
