Our approach to spalled brick in Pershing
Before you approve brick replacement in Pershing, these are worth knowing.
Firebox brick is not the same brick
The brick lining the inside of a fireplace firebox is firebrick, made to handle direct heat, and it is set with a different kind of mortar. Damage there is handled as firebox repair.
This page covers the brick on the outside of the chimney. If you also see cracked or loose brick inside the fireplace, mention it, and we will look at it during the same visit and quote it separately under the right service.
Surface texture on replacement brick
Some brick has a smooth face, some a wire-cut texture and some a sanded or tumbled finish. Two units of the same color can look different side by side if their textures do not match.
We compare texture as well as color when choosing replacement brick, holding candidates against your chimney in daylight. Texture also affects how the brick is cleaned after the repair, since smoother faces show mortar residue more clearly and need careful brushing.
What you can check from the ground
From the yard, you can often spot flaking faces, cracked units, white deposits and pieces of brick on the roof or ground. A pair of binoculars gives a closer view of the upper courses without any risk.
Note where the damage is, whether it is near the top, at the roof line or near the ground, and share that when you call. It helps us plan the visit. There is no need to climb up or pull at loose pieces yourself.
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.

Chimney brick questions from Pershing
Short answers from our chimney team in Pershing. Call for anything not covered here.
Is a crack through one brick serious?
A crack confined to one unit with sound brick around it is usually a straightforward replacement. Cracks that run across several courses can point to movement and need a wider look first. We explain which you have.
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.
