Masonry Maintenance Schedule for Commercial Buildings

The Quick Answer: A proactive masonry schedule includes annual visual walks, bi-annual gutter cleaning, and a professional condition assessment every 3–5 years. Following this roadmap can extend the life of your building’s facade and prevent energy loss.

‍

The TNT Recommended Maintenance Calendar:

• Annually (Spring): Walk the perimeter. Look for new cracks or "spalling" bricks. Document these with photos to track changes.
• Bi-Annually: Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear. Redirected water is the #1 enemy of masonry.
• Every 5 Years: Schedule a formal check with our Building Maintenance team to check window sealants (caulking), which usually fail faster than the mortar itself.

Every 7–10 Years: Consider a professional cleaning and the application of a breathable water repellent to reduce water absorption and improve Commercial property value.
