What goes into spalling brick repair in Lorna Doone
The details below shape the repair we recommend in Lorna Doone, and each one shows up in your written estimate.
Waiting before deciding on any sealer
Several months is the waiting period Technical Note 6A suggests after remedial repairs are completed and inspected, before deciding whether a water repellent is necessary, since the repairs often correct the moisture problem on their own.
We follow the same logic. After brick replacement and any related work, the chimney is given time to show how it behaves. If water penetration remains a problem later, a suitable product can be considered then. Applying a coating on the same day as the repair can hide the very signs that tell us whether the repair worked.
Upfront pricing when more damage appears
Sometimes a neighboring brick proves loose once a damaged unit is out, or the damage runs deeper than the face. The estimate explains in advance how that situation is handled.
We stop, show you what we found and explain the options and prices. Nothing extra is done without your approval. That is part of how our family-owned business keeps its pricing upfront and its customers comfortable approving the work.
If a water repellent is considered later
Coatings with low vapor permeability can trap efflorescing salts beneath them and damage the brick, as BIA Technical Note 6A explains, and water repellents are not a permanent solution and will need reapplication.
If, after the repairs have had time to prove themselves, a repellent still seems worthwhile, we discuss products that allow the masonry to dry and explain their limits. It is an optional, separate item, never a condition of the brick replacement.
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.
