Vegetation Growth
Plants, moss, algae, or other biological growth in masonry joints or surfaces that can cause structural damage through root expansion, freeze-thaw action, and chemical attack. Vegetation retains moisture, accelerates deterioration, and can physically displace masonry units. Prevention involves proper drainage and periodic cleaning to remove organic growth.
