Spalled Brick Replacement Across Arlington Heights
Face brick on older Arlington Heights streets spalls when water sits in the wall through Illinois winters. We source close matches for common red and buff stock, cut out failed units, and bed them so the repair disappears into the elevation.
Our process
- 1 Why are your bricks flaking This is called spalling: water penetrates the brick, freezes, and forces the face to break off. Chicago's northwest suburbs winters are especially tough. White powder (efflorescence) or zigzag cracks signal moisture moving through the wall. Address it now or face a larger repair bill later.
- 2 Can you just replace the bad ones In most cases, yes. We remove the damaged bricks and install compatible replacements with matching mortar. Older Arlington Heights brick is softer, so we avoid modern, rigid mortar that can cause cracking. If a whole area has failed, we'll honestly recommend a partial rebuild if needed.
- 3 What does brick repair cost Cost depends on the damage height, brick match difficulty, and any hidden water damage behind the wall. We provide written package scope after the site visits. You'll have the exact price before any work begins.
