Getting brick replacement right in Coytown
A closer look at the work, from our family-owned crew serving Coytown.
Finding the moisture source before replacing brick
Before attempting repairs meant to correct water penetration, BIA Technical Note 46 recommends investigating and determining the moisture source. New brick set into a wall that stays wet can face the same conditions that damaged the old units.
We look at the crown, the cap, the flashing, the joints, any coating on the brick and anything outside the chimney that wets it, such as a gutter spilling onto it. The estimate names the likely sources we found and prices their repairs on separate lines, so you can see how the brick work fits into the larger picture.
Deciding how many bricks to replace
The number of bricks to replace comes from their condition. Counting chips from the ground cannot tell you that. A unit that has lost part of its face but is still sound may be a candidate for a different approach than one that is soft or cracked through.
We check each suspect brick and the joints around it, then mark the repair boundary. The estimate states the approximate count and explains how any additional units found during removal would be handled and approved. Guessing low to win the job and adding units later is not how we work.
Reaching damaged brick high on the chimney
Brick replacement above the roof line means working from the roof, from ladders or from staging, depending on the chimney height and roof pitch. The access plan affects time, safety and price.
We work out access during the free inspection and describe it in the estimate. Tell us about anything that affects setup, such as a pool enclosure, landscaping or a fence near the chimney. You do not need to go up yourself to show us the damage.
Brick on the sloped shoulders of the chimney
Where an exterior chimney steps in from a wider base, its sloped shoulders catch rain. BIA Technical Note 19B describes covering these racked areas with a setting bed and uncored or paving brick, and notes that mortar washes may be less durable.
Shoulders with a failed mortar wash often show spalled or loose brick beneath. When we repair them, we explain whether to restore the wash or reset the area with suitable brick, and we price the approach you choose.

Before your brick repair in Coytown
If your question is not here, our Coytown team is a phone call away.
Can the damaged brick faces just be painted or sealed?
Not as a repair. Paint or a sealer does not replace a unit whose face has broken away, and brick industry guidance advises against using a water repellent in place of replacing spalled brick. We replace the damaged units first.
Do I need to be home during the brick repair?
Not for the whole job, as long as we can reach the chimney and the roof. If you can be there at the end, we will walk you through the finished repair and answer questions.
