MaintenanceStone masonry is renowned for its timeless elegance and exceptional durability, but even the most robust stonework requires regular care to maintain its integrity. The first step in stone masonry maintenance is routine inspection. Look for cracks, loose stones, or deteriorating mortar, as these issues can worsen over time if left untreated.
Cleaning your stonework is equally important. Use a soft brush and mild detergent to remove dirt and debris, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the stone. For persistent stains or biological growth, consult a professional for safe cleaning solutions. Repointing, or replacing old mortar, is essential for keeping your stonework weather-resistant and structurally sound. This process should always be handled by experienced masons for the best results.
Sealing your stonework may also help protect it from moisture and freeze-thaw cycles, especially in Edmonton’s climate. However, not all stones require sealing, so consult with experts before proceeding.
