If you think about it, houses have a really tough job, as it isn't easy to provide shelter and take on the elements year in and year out. This is why your home’s brick and masonry requires as much help as it can get, and, according to the waterproofing and concrete crack repair specialists at Jaco Waterproofing, one method that reliably provides this is brick sealing. Without altering the external appearance of your home, this relatively simple procedure promises to keep your home protected from the elements for many years to come.

So what exactly does brick sealing do? Why should you consider this treatment? 

  • Prevents Efflorescence: Efflorescence is a powdery, salt-based deposit that forms on the surface of brick, masonry and concrete; its presence means that the brick is not sealed. A good sealing job will take care of this issue. 

  • Stops Leaks Into Your Home: Jaco employs sealers that are  effective in preventing moisture from penetrating the brick and masonry walls of your home. The presence of water in the walls causes a host of problems, including leaks around doors and windows
  • Fights Mildew: The presence of mildew in your home is not only unsightly, but it can severely affect air quality. Since sealing doesn’t allow moisture in, mildew won’t be able to grow.
  • Stops Spalling: Spalling occurs when moisture inside masonry freezes and expands.  That expansion breaks the brick and it flakes off.  Sealing the brick stops water penetration and stops spalling.

Ultimately, the investment into brick sealing is one that will pay for itself, as brick facade will not allow leaks around windows, doors or start to spall. This means less maintenance down the road.
