How we handle chimney brick replacement in Lake Nona
Three parts of the job our brick specialists explain to homeowners in Lake Nona before any unit is removed.
Pressure washing and brick faces
BIA Technical Note 20, on cleaning brickwork, warns that excessive water pressure may damage brick surfaces, erode mortar joints and remove surface finishes.
Brick faces can be damaged by a well-meant cleaning at high pressure. If your chimney has been washed that way, tell us. When we clean up after a brick replacement, we use gentle methods and brush off excess mortar rather than blasting the wall.
Keeping joint widths consistent with the old work
Mortar joints around replacement brick should line up with the existing courses and match their thickness. A wide or uneven joint around a new unit makes the repair stand out even when the brick color is right.
We set each replacement unit to the existing joint lines and adjust for small differences in brick size. Where the existing joints vary, we follow the pattern of the surrounding area rather than an ideal measurement that would not match.
Why the wrong cleaner can make things worse
Improper cleaning procedures can cause damage, and Technical Note 46 recommends solutions made specifically for removing efflorescence from brickwork, used according to the product guidance.
Strong acids or harsh products applied without testing can etch brick faces, discolor mortar or leave new stains. If deposits need more than brushing, we test a small area first and use a product suited to the brick, never a random cleaner from the shelf.
Common threads behind spalling brick
The BIA technical notes point to several ways brick faces fail. Mortar that is harder than the brick can concentrate stress at the joint, film coatings can slow drying, and soluble salts moved by water can crystallize in or beneath the surface.
Water is part of each of those mechanisms, which is why our inspection looks for how it is getting into your chimney. Understanding the cause shapes the repair, from the mortar we choose to the related items we recommend.

How soon can you look at my chimney in Lake Nona?
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.
Why not rebuild the whole chimney instead?
When damage is limited to some units, targeted replacement costs far less and gives a sound result. A rebuild makes sense when damage is widespread or the top is loose or moving, and we say so when we see it.
