Winter puts Des Plaines brick through the wringer — water gets in, freezes, and pushes joints apart. Catching soft joints and open crowns early keeps Arlington Heights walls tight and water out of the home.
Local conditions
Local housing and masonry conditions
Housing stock and mortar patterns common around Des Plaines that shape repair scope.
- What was built here
- Early brick bungalows and two-flats near downtown, postwar brick ranches and bi-levels, and multi-unit masonry along major arterials.
- Joint and mortar age
- Soft early-century mortars on bungalow stock; firmer mid-century cement on ranch tracts. Mixed hardness on one elevation is common after repairs.
- What fails first
- Porch-wall separation, spalling on west-facing streets, and chimney rebuilds where crowns and flues failed together.
- Neighborhood tips
- The Des Plaines River corridor and older downtown grid push moisture and salt into brick bases—first-course joint failure often precedes eave-line wear.
- Weather impact
- Northwest-suburban winters put Arlington Heights brick through dozens of freeze-thaw cycles. Water locked in open joints expands as ice, then thaws, which speeds joint loss, face spalling, and crown cracks on exposed ranch elevations.
