How we handle chimney brick replacement in Lake Como
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Lake Como, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
Sprinklers aimed at the chimney base
A lawn sprinkler that sprays the chimney keeps the lower brick wet far more often than rain does. Repeated wetting and drying is one way soluble salts are moved through masonry.
If we see spalling or white deposits concentrated at the base of your chimney, we ask about irrigation. Adjusting a sprinkler head costs little and may be part of the solution. We replace the damaged units and tell you what else we think is keeping that area wet.
What affects the price of brick replacement
The number of units, how difficult the brick is to match, the height of the damaged area, the access needed and any related repairs all affect the price. A few units at ground level cost far less than a band of brick near the top of a tall chimney.
We give you a written estimate before any work starts, with each item priced on its own line. There are no hidden fees. Book within 72 hours after your free inspection and 10% comes off, shown on the estimate.
Blending units across the natural color range
Brick in a single wall is rarely one flat color. Technical Note 46 suggests a sample panel that represents the full range of colors and textures in the selected brick, configured to match the appearance of the existing work.
When several units are being replaced, we place lighter and darker replacement bricks so the repair does not form a patch of one shade. It takes a little more thought than setting bricks in the order they come off the pallet, and the finished wall looks more natural for it.
Cracks through the face shell of a unit
BIA Technical Note 6A lists removal and replacement of brick with spalled faces or cracks extending through the face shell among the repairs that a water repellent should not be used in place of.
A crack through the outer shell of a unit opens a direct path for water into the brick and the wall. We identify these units during the inspection and include them in the replacement count, rather than sealing over them.

What people in Lake Como ask about spalled brick
Still deciding? These answers help, and the inspection in Lake Como is free.
What happens if you find more damage once work starts?
We stop and show you. Sometimes a neighboring brick proves loose or the damage runs deeper than the face. We explain the options and prices, and nothing extra is done without your approval.
Can loose brick fall off the chimney?
It can, especially near the top. Keep people and pets clear of the area below visible damage and do not pull at loose pieces. If a brick is hanging over a walkway, call our 24/7 emergency line.
