![MORTAR, unsung hero of history By Johnna Rizzo and Matthew Twombly [Fort sumter survived the opening salvos of the civil war in 1861.] [Today, like for other historic structures, water is its greatest threat.] [It’s also a constant one.] [Rain drenches them.] [Snow clings to them.] [Sprinklers soak their surfaces.] [Water even seeps in from the ground, roof leaks, and air conditioning.] [When the salts it carries crystallize on the outside of buildings, they create a bloom called efflorescence.] [When crystals form within the bricks' pores, as they grow, they break down the bricks from the inside. This causes slices of masonry to peel off, a process called spalling.] [If left unchecked, the salts and water can cause the brick and stone to crack.]](https://www.ncptt.nps.gov/wp-content/uploads/Mortar-Unsung-Hero-of-History-1-150x150.png)
