Their eye-catching brickwork is evidence of the talent and style from a long time ago. Even so, as years add up, these homes may need to be fixed and made more stable to protect their old structure. People who want to protect Charleston\u2019s charm need to understand how to maintain and fix historic brick styles. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charleston\u2019s homes that date to the 18th and 19th centuries are built using bricks and mortar that were handmade by local people. Such materials are different from the modern building materials, so usual repair methods may unintentionally harm old buildings.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2

damaged when in contact with hard, new types of mortar. Wrong mortar can keep water from escaping, which can lead to bricks flaking off or cracking. To achieve this balance, the choice of materials and knowledge of experts are very important.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changes_to_the_weather_and_ways_in_which_it_affects_the_environment\"><\/span><b>Changes to the weather and ways in which it affects the environment<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a while, Charleston\u2019s brick masonry damage occurs because of the humidity, saltiness, and periodic hurricanes. Bricks can break from too much moisture, freeze-thaw cycles can weaken the mortar between them, and salty areas can lead to their breakdown, which threatens an old home\u2019s structure.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upkeep_of_the_History_of_the_site\"><\/span><b>Upkeep of the History of the site<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A major challenge is making sure the house looks like it did in the past.

A professional brick mason assesses whether the bricks, mortar, and the entire structure reveal any cracks, if some parts are damaged by water, or joints are weak. When repairs are made, the original design is not changed by using proper documentation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_process_of_cleaning_and_preparing_the_ingredients_is_very_important\"><\/span><b>The process of cleaning and preparing the ingredients is very important.<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low-pressure washing along with using certain specialized cleaners is enough to clean the brick without damaging it.
