Porous masonry surfaces can become a reoccurring problem if not treated correctly. This allows penetration of rainwater and will cause the following problems:

• Damage from the freeze and thaw cycle. Brickwork, stone facing and ornate moulding is spalled by absorbing moisture that freezes. Concrete and mortar joints are also affected by this.
• Heat loss caused by absorption of water and subsequent evaporation of the water. This will increase the condensation on the surface experienced internally.
• The masonry surface will be compromised by stained grime and soot. This is mostly cause when the water is absorbed.
• Efflorescence on masonry as water penetration brings salts and minerals to the surface growth of green slime, algae and moss, caused by the high moisture content in the masonary treatments for up to ten years.

Our specialist team can help battle this with various products that will restore your masonry and protect it for the future.
