Brick replacement that deals with the cause
Judging the brick match with a sample
Brick industry guidance recommends a mock-up or sample panel to judge how replacement brick compares with the existing wall. Seeing new and old side by side, in daylight, tells you more than a catalog picture.
For visible faces, we set out the proposed brick against the chimney before the work is approved. You can look at it wet and dry if that helps. If the match is not good enough, we look further before anything is cut out, rather than after.
Rain and fresh mortar around new bricks
Fresh mortar around a new brick is soft at the surface. Heavy rain can wash fine material out of the joints and streak the brick below. New units are protected when rain is likely.
If rain threatens during the work, we cover the day's repairs before leaving and may move the schedule. A short delay is better than redoing the joints. Tell us if you see covers moved by wind so we can reset them. We also check the covered work before starting again the next day.
When damaged brick can wait
Not every inspection ends with bricks being replaced. A chimney can show light surface wear, a stable hairline crack or shallow flaking that is not letting water in. In that case, replacement may not be needed yet.
We tell you what we checked and what would change the answer, such as a face coming away, a crack opening or pieces falling. A maintenance visit later can confirm how the brick is holding. Work the chimney does not need does not go on your estimate.
Replacing the whole brick, not only its face
When a brick loses its face, the damage may not stop at the surface you can see. The material behind may be weakened, cracked or holding water. Brick industry guidance describes removing and replacing damaged units rather than resurfacing them.
Replacing the whole unit restores a sound brick with an intact face and full joints around it. We explain why a partial fix, such as a thin facing or a mortar skim, would not last as long. The estimate lists each unit to be replaced in full.
Separate lines for bricks, joints and water
- Replacement brick matched in size
- Careful cutting of surrounding mortar
- Opening cleaned of dust and fragments
- Protection for roof, windows and plantings
Spalling brick repair questions from Flamingo Park
Can you replace only the damaged bricks on my chimney?
Yes, where the masonry around them is sound. We cut out the spalled or cracked units, clean the openings and set matching brick in mortar that suits the wall. If damage is widespread or the chimney is moving, we explain a wider repair instead.
How do you match new brick to an older chimney?
We compare size, color, texture and the range of shades in the wall, and we can set out a sample to judge the match. Finding a close brick can take some searching. New brick may look fresher at first.
What does the free inspection include for damaged brick in Flamingo Park?
We look at each face, mark units that have lost their face, cracked through or come loose, and check the joints around them. The crown, cap and flashing above get checked too, since any of them could be feeding water into those bricks.
