Highly classic, heavily historic properties constructed entirely with natural fired clay brick and traditional lime mortar require a very specific, highly delicate approach to total exterior maintenance. These deeply beautiful, highly textured masonry walls were originally built by skilled tradesmen to physically last for multiple centuries, but they actively possess a highly critical physical vulnerability that modern homes do not share. The older lime mortar used to traditionally point the brickwork is incredibly soft, specifically engineered to slightly flex and totally shift with the slow, highly natural settling of the heavy building over decades. While this necessary flexibility successfully prevents the hard clay bricks from violently cracking, it makes the soft mortar completely defenceless against the highly aggressive mechanical force of heavily concentrated, fast-falling rainwater.
During a severe, highly continuous seasonal rainstorm, thousands of gallons of heavy water rapidly collect on the massive upper surface of the residential home. If the metal transit channels located exactly at the edge of the eaves are heavily blocked with rotting autumn leaves or completely failing due to heavy rust, this massive volume of water absolutely does not drain safely away. Instead, it violently spills directly over the front edge, actively creating a heavy, highly concentrated waterfall that repeatedly and aggressively smashes against the soft historic brick facade directly below. This highly continuous, completely aggressive hydraulic impact acts exactly like a high-pressure industrial power washer aimed entirely at your delicate mortar joints.
Over a highly sustained period, this heavily concentrated falling water physically blasts the soft lime mortar completely out from between the fired clay bricks. As the protective mortar slowly and completely washes away, deep structural voids are aggressively created entirely within the wall, leaving the hard clay bricks completely unsupported and highly vulnerable to dangerous structural shifting. Furthermore, this heavy, highly constant water saturation forcefully drives massive amounts of destructive moisture deeply into the highly porous brick face. When the winter temperatures violently plummet, this deeply trapped moisture turns directly into solid expanding ice, physically popping the highly decorative face completely off the historic brick structure and completely ruining the visual appeal of the property.
Permanently defending your highly beautiful historic masonry requires totally eliminating this concentrated, highly aggressive hydraulic water impact from the very top of the building. Executing a highly precise Gutter Installation in Philadelphia is the absolute most important preventative architectural measure you can take to permanently preserve an older brick property. A totally unbroken, mathematically sized aluminium system completely safely captures the rapidly rushing rainwater exactly at the very top of the building. It acts as an impenetrable physical line of defence, smoothly transporting the heavy volume of moisture completely horizontally away from the highly vulnerable brick face, mathematically guaranteeing that the highly destructive waterfall absolutely never forms against your home.
A properly pitched, completely unbroken aluminium system entirely removes the weak, highly vulnerable physical joints that historically plagued older sectional metal channels. Because the metal is physically rolled out and formed exactly on your property to the specific mathematical lengths required, there are absolutely no physical seams for the heavy water to eventually escape through and slowly drip down the delicate side of the masonry. By highly carefully routing the vertical discharge downpipes completely away from the brick foundation, the skilled technicians safely deposit the heavy water securely into the underground municipal transit drains. This highly engineered transit system completely starves the highly destructive physical erosion process, totally securing the soft historic lime mortar and mathematically guaranteeing that your deeply classic brick facade remains beautifully intact for many generations to come.
Conclusion
Historic clay brick properties rely on highly soft, totally flexible lime mortar that is completely vulnerable to the aggressive hydraulic impact of concentrated, falling rainwater. When overhead transit systems overflow, the resulting heavy waterfall physically blasts the soft mortar away and aggressively saturates the porous bricks, causing severe freezing and structural cracking during the winter. A completely unbroken, mathematically pitched aluminium drainage system permanently captures this heavy water at the eaves, totally preventing the destructive erosion of your highly delicate historic masonry.
