Brick Replacement & Repointing
Repair of deteriorated brickwork and mortar joints to prevent water ingress and extend the lifespan of masonry surfaces.
What Brick Replacement & Repointing Is
Brick replacement and repointing are essential masonry maintenance procedures for buildings in Calgary. Over time, weather exposure, shifting structures, and normal wear cause mortar joints to erode and brick units to degrade. These voids allow water into the wall assembly, which can lead to moisture damage, reduced insulation performance, and other issues if left unaddressed.
Repointing refers to removing deteriorated mortar from between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar to restore joint integrity. Brick replacement involves removing and reinstalling damaged or failed bricks when they cannot be repaired by repointing alone.
When Brick Replacement & Repointing Is Needed
This work is typically required when:
Mortar joints have eroded or cracked, leaving gaps
Water stains appear on interior walls or surfaces below masonry
Bricks are loose, cracked, spalling, or have shifted
Freeze-thaw cycles have accelerated joint deterioration
Routine maintenance is due to prevent more extensive repairs later
