What goes into spalling brick repair in Lake Mary Jane
Before you approve brick replacement in Lake Mary Jane, these are worth knowing.
Dampening the brick before setting new units
Brick surfaces in the wall should be dampened before new units are placed, but the masonry should absorb all surface moisture first so the mortar bonds well. That balance comes from BIA Technical Note 46.
Very dry brick can pull water out of fresh mortar too quickly, while standing water on the surface can weaken the bond. We judge the surface on the day, allowing for sun and wind, and adjust before setting each unit. It is a small step that affects how well the repair holds.
Joint profiles that shed water
Concave, V and grapevine joints best resist water penetration in exterior brickwork, according to BIA Technical Note 7B, because tooling compacts the mortar at the surface.
Where your chimney already has one of those profiles, we match it on the replacement units. If the existing joints have a different profile, we discuss whether to match the look or use a water-resisting profile around the new brick. Either way, the finish is described in the estimate before the work begins.
Brick veneer chimneys and their weep holes
Some chimneys are a framed structure faced with brick veneer. Florida Building Code, Residential, section R1003.10.1 calls for through-flashing and weep holes where masonry veneers a frame chimney, and Technical Note 46 warns against letting debris fall into the air space behind the veneer, where it can block weeps.
When we replace units on a veneered chimney, we keep mortar droppings and broken pieces out of that space. If we see weeps that are already blocked or missing, we point them out as a separate finding. The brick face is only one layer of that wall.
Our satisfaction guarantee on brick work
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on our work. On a brick replacement, that means the agreed units are replaced, the joints are full and tooled to match, and the site is left clean.
If something about the repair does not meet what we agreed, call us, and we will come back to make it right. The guarantee is part of how a local, family-owned company earns the next call and the next referral in Lake Mary Jane.

Chimney brick questions from Lake Mary Jane
Answers from our specialists in Lake Mary Jane, with no sales pressure.
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.
Can you replace brick on a chimney covered in stucco?
We can assess it, but repairs to a stucco-covered chimney follow our stucco repair service. If brick beneath the coating needs replacing, we explain the combined scope and price each part.
