Masonry for Hendersonville homeowners
Hendersonville sits on Old Hickory Lake, and the waterfront and near-water housing brings conditions the rest of the region does not have.
A large body of 1970s and 1980s housing — split-levels, ranches and traditional two-stories — much of it now on its second or third roof and its second HVAC system. Around the lake, docks, boathouses, retaining walls and steep lot access are common, and the newer building along the water is larger and more exposed than the inland stock.
That matters for masonry because the age and construction of a house decides most of what we find in it. Proximity to the lake raises moisture pressure on everything — crawl spaces, decks, siding and exterior finishes all weather faster within sight of the water than they do a few miles inland.

What brings us to Hendersonville.
Middle Tennessee has a large stock of genuinely old brick — pre-war homes across Davidson County, and older commercial and civic buildings throughout the region — and the single most damaging thing done to that brick is repointing with modern Portland mortar. Historic brick is softer than the mortar sold in most builders merchants, and the joint is meant to be the sacrificial element. Get it backwards and the wall pushes its damage into the brick faces instead, which spall and cannot be repointed back.
- White efflorescence staining, which indicates water moving through the masonry
- A sagging or rusted steel lintel above a window or a garage opening
- Mortar joints that crumble or can be raked out with a screwdriver
- Stair-step cracking through the mortar joints of a brick wall
Portland mortar on soft historic brick. The most expensive mistake in masonry, and it is irreversible.
