Just as the mortar in historic structures stands as a testament to time, the mortar in your home’s masonry plays a crucial role in its strength, stability, and overall aesthetic appeal. Over the years, however, exposure to the elements, seasonal shifts, and the natural aging process can cause this vital mortar to crack, crumble, and deteriorate. When that happens, it’s more than just a cosmetic issue – it can compromise the structural integrity of your walls, chimneys, and other masonry features, allowing water to seep in and cause further damage.
