How does masonry leak?Masonry material is porous, meaning to some level, water will absorb into the masonry. If you have deteriorated masonry, either on the chimney, or around your home, this creates an easy opening for the water to come right into the home with little to no resistance.
It is important to complete regular maintenance on your masonry veneer to ensure you have no cracks, voids, or gaps present. This simple step will help solve a lot of leaking problems. However even the best chimney's and walls with no visible signs of deterioration can, and will, absorb water. This is okay, but it is vital to have proper flashing systems installed behind the masonry. Those flashing systems include: Vapor barrier, through wall flashing, and a weep hole system w/ cotton rope. If you are experiencing leaks around your home where masonry is present on the exterior, give McVay Masonry a call to help provide you with a plan to stop the water leak. |
