Signs You May Need Spalling Brick Repair and Chimney Brick Replacement
Spalling is what happens when water inside a brick pushes its face off in flakes or chunks. Once a brick has spalled, it soaks up even more water and the damage speeds up. We replace chimney bricks that have spalled or cracked, and we find the reason they got wet so the new ones last.
- Brick faces flaking, peeling or popping off
- Pieces of brick on the roof or in the gutter
- Bricks that are cracked through
- Hollow-sounding bricks near the top of the stack
Why chimney bricks spall
Brick is porous. When it stays wet, salts carried by the water crystallize just under the surface, and over many wet-dry cycles the face breaks away. Water reaches the brick through a cracked crown, missing cap, worn mortar joints or a non-breathable coating that traps moisture. Paint on brick is a common culprit: it holds water in until the face pops off.
How we replace chimney bricks
Each damaged brick is cut out by grinding the joints around it and removing the pieces without disturbing sound brick nearby. The opening is cleaned, the new brick is buttered with mortar and set flush, and the joints are tooled to match. Cracked chimney brick replacement on a corner or near the crown can need a few courses rebuilt instead, which the estimate spells out.
Stop the water, or it happens again
New bricks in a wet chimney will spall too. Our chimney brick spalling repair includes finding the water source: a crown that needs repair, a cap, flashing or joints that need repointing. When the brick has dried and the repairs are done, a breathable water repellent can add protection.
