If your bricks are cracking, flaking, or falling apart, it’s usually a sign that moisture is getting into your masonry.
Left alone, small brick damage can turn into larger and more expensive structural problems.
Not Sure If You Need Brick Repair?
Most homeowners aren’t sure what they’re looking at when they notice changes in their brick.
Here are some common signs your home may need brick repair:
• Cracks running through bricks
• Bricks flaking or breaking apart (spalling)
• Mortar joints crumbling or missing
• White staining on brick (efflorescence)
• Loose or shifting bricks
If you’re seeing any of these signs, there’s a good chance moisture is getting into your masonry. Don't wait call today!
Why Brick Damage Happens
Brick is strong, but it’s not waterproof.
In Ontario, freeze and thaw cycles allow moisture to get into brick and mortar. When temperatures drop, that moisture expands and causes the material to crack, flake, and break down over time.
This process is one of the most common causes of brick damage on homes.
