As the seasons change, so do the demands on your home’s exterior. With inclement weather just around the corner, now is the perfect time to have your property inspected by the masonry experts at JLM Masonry. Ensuring that your exterior is in top shape can help prevent costly damage and maintain the integrity of your home. 

Why a Pre-Weather Inspection is Essential 

Inclement weather, whether it’s heavy rain, snow, or freezing temperatures, can take a significant toll on your home’s exterior. Cracks in the masonry, deteriorating mortar joints, and weakened structures are all susceptible to further damage when exposed to the elements. A thorough inspection can identify these issues before they escalate into major problems, such as water infiltration, structural instability, or even mold growth. 

Key Areas to Inspect 

• Brick and Stonework: Over time, bricks and stones can develop cracks, while the mortar that holds them together can deteriorate. An inspection can reveal areas that need repointing or repair to ensure they remain strong and weather-resistant. 

• Chimneys: Chimneys are particularly vulnerable to weather damage due to their exposure. Checking for cracks, loose bricks, and other issues can prevent leaks and ensure safe operation during the colder months. 

• Windows and Doors: The lintels above your windows and doors play a crucial role in supporting the structure above them. Ensuring these are in good condition is vital to preventing future structural damage.
