Masonry Restoration F.A.Q.s
Masonry restoration implies that bricks need to be restored and or replaced. When you notice that your brick surface alters its appearance (i.e. your masonry units are missing their face, chipping, flaking, crumbling, cracking, deflected or displaced) it is worth inquiring after.
As brick ages it will start to retain moisture. When moisture penetrates the outer layer of brick (substrate) and freezes, it will expand. This expansion is what causes the brick surface to “pop” or spall. It is a very common problem here in the Midwest. The only way to repair the brick is to replace it with a new masonry unit.
When water works its way inside a wall through defective mortar joints, it can settle in-between the inner and outer wythes causing it to deflect at its weakest point. The only way to fix the displacement is to dismantle and rebuild the damaged area back to a structurally sound condition.
