Did the brick fail, or the mortar?

Every masonry repair starts with one question: which half of the wall failed? Sometimes it's the mortar, worn and recessed while the brick is fine. Sometimes it's the brick, flaking or cracked while the joints hold. Sometimes it's both.

Every face of the chimney gets checked so you'll know which you have, since the fix and the price differ a lot. Repointing alone is lighter work than replacing brick, and replacing brick without fixing the joints just moves the problem. You'll see the reasoning noted on the quote.

Local Conditions

Repairs timed with a new roof

If a new roof is going on your home in Arredondo, the chimney masonry above the roofline is best repaired first, before new flashing is sealed into the joints. Our specialists coordinate with your roofer, so the brick and mortar are sound when the flashing goes on and nothing has to be redone later. The quote shows which part is ours and which is the roofer's.

Cleaning brick without damaging it

Mortar smears on the brick face after repointing need cleaning, and so do stains from water or rust. The Brick Industry Association warns against unbuffered hydrofluoric and hydrochloric acid cleaners, which can burn brick, leave white scum and cause green or brown stains on light-colored brick.

Our pros keep the face clean as they work, brush off mortar crumbs before they set, and use cleaners suited to your brick when a deeper clean is needed, testing a small area first. It takes longer than blasting the wall with acid, and the brick comes out undamaged. The cleaner used is named on the quote.

Paint and coatings on brick chimneys

Many coatings slow the drying of brick, and ordinary paints are among them. When water gets into the wall from the top or through a joint, a film on the outside holds it in, and it pushes the paint off or flakes the brick face as it tries to escape.

Masonry under peeling paint gets repaired first. For the finish, a breathable masonry coating lets water vapor out where standard paint doesn't. Stripping paint from brick is possible but slow, and it's only worth it where the brick underneath is sound. Our pros talk through the options before pricing.

When the wall bows out

A section of chimney that bulges outward has separated inside, with the outer brick pulling away from the masonry behind it. Water getting into the wall and rusting ties or steel are common reasons.

Measuring the bulge comes first, then tapping the brick for hollow areas and looking for fresh cracks around the edges that would mean it's still moving. A small, stable bulge can be taken down and relaid with new ties. A large or active one points to rebuilding that section. Until it's assessed, the area below should be kept clear. The repair plan and its price come on the quote once the cause is clear.
