When you notice lintel movement over a doorway, window, opening, or garage door it has to do with poor installation. For years steel angle irons (lintels) where used for the above mentioned and there was no flashing and weep system installed. This created a serious problem because water is trapped on the lintel causing it to rust and lift the masonry. As the iron continues to break down you will also notice the iron settling in the center. Once you notice this problem you will want to act quickly. Often the masonry above the iron will crack and separate allowing more water infiltration and causing more damage both to your masonry and even your home structure.
