Why Brick Repair Matters for Your San Bernardino Property
Brick is one of the most durable building materials available, but even the toughest masonry can suffer damage over time. The dry climate and temperature fluctuations in San Bernardino, CA put stress on mortar joints and brick surfaces. When you notice cracks, chips, or crumbling mortar, taking action quickly prevents minor issues from becoming major structural problems.
Your brick walls, walkways, and structures do more than look good. They protect your property from the elements and maintain your home or business value. Damaged brickwork allows moisture to seep in, which can lead to mold growth, interior damage, and even compromise the structural integrity of your building. Professional brick repair stops these problems before they spiral out of control.
We serve property owners throughout San Bernardino who want reliable, lasting repairs. Our team brings years of hands-on experience working with both historic and modern brick structures. Whether you are dealing with cracked foundation bricks or cosmetic damage on your exterior walls, we have the skills and materials to restore your masonry the right way.
Common Brick Problems We Fix
Not all brick damage looks the same, and different issues require different solutions. Here are the most common problems we see in San Bernardino homes and businesses:
Cracked and Broken Bricks
Cracks often start small but expand over time, especially when water gets inside and freezes during cooler months. We carefully remove damaged bricks and replace them with matching materials that blend seamlessly with your existing structure.
Deteriorating Mortar Joints
Mortar holds your bricks together, but it wears down faster than the bricks themselves. When joints crumble or pull away from the brick, your wall loses strength. Our tuckpointing and repointing services restore these joints to full strength.
Water Damage and Efflorescence
That white, powdery residue on your bricks is called efflorescence, and it means water is moving through your masonry. We identify the source of moisture intrusion, fix any drainage issues, and repair the affected brickwork to prevent ongoing damage.
- Spalling bricks with flaking or chipping surfaces
- Leaning or bulging brick walls
- Loose or missing bricks in walkways and patios
- Discoloration from age, pollution, or water staining
- Settlement cracks in foundations and retaining walls
Our Brick Restoration Process
Quality brick repair requires more than just slapping on some mortar and calling it done. We follow a proven process that ensures your repairs last for decades, not just a few years.
Step 1: Detailed Inspection
We start by examining your entire brick structure, not just the visible damage. This helps us identify underlying issues like poor drainage, foundation movement, or hidden moisture problems that could cause new damage after repairs.
Step 2: Material Matching
Every brick has unique characteristics in color, texture, and size. We take samples and work with suppliers to find replacement bricks and mortar that match your existing masonry. This attention to detail means your repairs blend in perfectly rather than standing out like a sore thumb.
Step 3: Careful Removal and Preparation
Removing damaged bricks without harming surrounding masonry takes skill and the right tools. We carefully extract broken sections, clean the area thoroughly, and prepare surfaces for new materials. This prep work makes the difference between repairs that last and repairs that fail.
Step 4: Expert Installation
We install replacement bricks using proper techniques and mortar formulas designed for the San Bernardino climate. Each brick is positioned precisely and mortar joints are tooled to match the original profile. We also address any structural concerns with chimney repairs or foundation stabilization when needed.
After installation, we protect the work area and allow proper curing time. Rushing this step weakens the bond between bricks and mortar. We make sure everything sets correctly before we consider the job complete.
