Our approach to spalled brick in Signal Hill
Practical points from our masonry crew in Signal Hill.
Matching replacement brick color, texture and size
A replacement brick has to match the existing brick's color, texture and size as well as its physical properties, according to Technical Note 46, which also acknowledges that locating matching brick may take considerable effort.
We look for units that match your chimney as closely as practical and tell you honestly how close we expect to get. Weathered brick is hard to match exactly, so the estimate describes the intended material and the expected appearance before you approve. If a near match is not available, we discuss the options with you first.
Taking out a damaged brick without harming its neighbors
Removal begins by breaking out the damaged unit, partly or whole, then cutting and chiseling away the mortar around it with care to spare the neighboring brick, the order Technical Note 46 lays out.
That care is where much of the time on a brick replacement goes. Rushing the removal can crack the next brick and turn a small repair into a larger one. Our crew works around each unit by hand where it matters, and we tell you if a neighboring brick proves to be loose once the damaged one is out.
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.
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 Signal Hill.
