Getting brick replacement right in Corner Lake
Our team in Corner Lake walks every homeowner through points like these.
Waiting before deciding on any sealer
Several months is the waiting period Technical Note 6A suggests after remedial repairs are completed and inspected, before deciding whether a water repellent is necessary, since the repairs often correct the moisture problem on their own.
We follow the same logic. After brick replacement and any related work, the chimney is given time to show how it behaves. If water penetration remains a problem later, a suitable product can be considered then. Applying a coating on the same day as the repair can hide the very signs that tell us whether the repair worked.
Matching replacement brick color, texture and size
A replacement brick has to match the existing brick's color, texture and size as well as its physical properties, according to Technical Note 46, which also acknowledges that locating matching brick may take considerable effort.
We look for units that match your chimney as closely as practical and tell you honestly how close we expect to get. Weathered brick is hard to match exactly, so the estimate describes the intended material and the expected appearance before you approve. If a near match is not available, we discuss the options with you first.
A crack through a single brick
A brick cracked through its body, with sound brick and joints around it, is often a straightforward replacement. The crack lets water in and weakens the unit, and the neighbors do not have to be disturbed much.
We check that the crack stops at the joints and that nearby brick is solid, then replace the unit with a matched brick and mortar. The estimate lists it as a single-unit replacement, so you know the repair is small and self-contained.
Keeping clear of loose brick
Spalled faces and loose bricks can drop without warning, especially from the upper courses. Keep people and pets away from the area directly below a visibly damaged chimney.
There is no need to pull at a loose piece or climb up to check it. Tell us what you see and where pieces have landed. If a brick looks ready to fall over a walkway or entrance, call our 24/7 emergency line, and we will arrange the soonest visit we can to secure it.

Brick replacement answers for Corner Lake homeowners
If your question is not here, our Corner Lake team is a phone call away.
Do you fix the reason the brick failed?
We identify the likely sources, such as a cracked crown, a missing cap, failed flashing, a coating or a sprinkler, and quote their repairs on separate lines. Replacing brick without addressing the water leaves the new units exposed to the same cause.
How soon can you look at my chimney in Corner Lake?
Same-day service is available when our schedule allows. The repair itself depends on finding matching brick and on the weather, and we give you a realistic timeline in the estimate.
