Getting chimney brick replacement right in Riviera Isles

Cored brick and what a lost face exposes

Many modern bricks have holes, or cores, running through them. When the face of a cored brick spalls, those holes can open directly to the weather. Water then collects inside the unit and the wall.

We note cored units whose faces have gone, because they can worsen once opened. Replacing them closes that path. Where cores are exposed on top surfaces, such as shoulders, a solid unit may be the better replacement, and we explain why before proposing it.

Joints around new bricks and wider repointing

The joints immediately around each replaced brick are part of the replacement. Joints elsewhere on the chimney that have eroded or cracked are a separate question, answered by repointing.

We keep that boundary clear on the estimate. If the joints near the damaged bricks are failing too, we explain whether repointing that area makes sense at the same visit. It appears as its own item, so you can see what the brick replacement covers and what the joint work adds.

Workmanship warranty on replaced brick

The brick replacement you approve carries our workmanship warranty. It covers how we removed the damaged units, set the new ones and finished the joints around them.

If a replaced brick or its joints concern you later, call and tell us which one. The written record shows where each unit sits, so we can find and check it. If the problem comes from another part of the chimney, we explain which part and discuss it as its own item. We would rather look at a concern early than let it grow.

Homes with more than one brick chimney

A house with two chimneys may find one in good order and the other shedding pieces. Each chimney faces its own exposure and may have its own history of repairs.

Each chimney you name gets its own assessment. You can approve brick replacement on one without committing to the other. An unused chimney is still checked, because it can let water into the house just as easily as one in use. Separate estimate lines keep the reasons for each chimney clear.

Spalling brick repair questions from Riviera Isles

How does the inspection discount apply to brick replacement?

Say yes to the brick replacement within 72 hours after your free inspection and we take 10% off the services you book. Those hours run from your own inspection visit.

What should I tell you when I call about damaged brick?

Mention which side of the chimney shows damage, whether pieces have fallen and whether water shows inside. Tell us about past repairs, coatings, paint or sealers. That history helps explain why the brick failed.

Does the workmanship warranty cover replaced bricks in Riviera Isles?

Yes, the agreed brick replacement carries our workmanship warranty. The written record lists which units were replaced and where, so any question later can be checked against the work that was done.
