Our approach to spalled brick in Johnson Village
What our pros check and why, on brick jobs across Johnson Village.
What spalled chimney brick looks like
Spalling is the face of a brick flaking, peeling or popping away, leaving a rough, recessed surface behind. Pieces may collect on the roof, in the gutter or at the base of the chimney.
Once the hard outer face is gone, the softer body of the brick is exposed and takes on water more easily. Brick Industry Association Technical Note 46 notes that moisture can penetrate through broken or heavily spalled brick and that replacing the damaged units may be necessary. We look at each affected brick and the ones around it before recommending anything.
No single mortar suits every chimney
Here the brick industry is blunt. BIA Technical Note 8B says no single mortar is best for all purposes, and that the mortar's properties should be compatible with the application, the masonry units and any adjacent products.
A mix that suits new construction may be wrong beside soft old brick, and the reverse is true as well. We choose the mortar for your replacement units after looking at the brick and the existing joints. If a sample of the original mortar would change the decision, we tell you and explain how it would be handled.
Stains inside the house near the chimney
Water stains on a ceiling or wall beside the chimney, or dampness near the fireplace after rain, can be linked to the same water that damages the brick outside. They can also come from the roof or flashing.
Tell us where and when you see interior stains. We trace likely paths from the outside and explain which repairs address them. Brick replacement alone may not stop an interior leak, and we say so plainly when other work is needed.
How a brick replacement visit runs
We arrive, confirm the scope with you, set up access and protect the roof and ground. Damaged units are removed carefully, the openings cleaned and the new brick set, pointed and tooled to match.
We brush the faces, clean up the debris and walk you through the finished repair before leaving. The paperwork shows the units replaced, the materials used and the warranty on our work. If the job needs more than one visit, we explain why at the start.
