Masonry is subject to a wide variety of complex forces.
Among these are:
• Water damage due to irrigation/ sprinklers spraying
brick Expansion and contraction due to freeze/thaw cycles.
• Efflorescence (expansion of soluble salts).
• Thermal expansion and contraction.
• Expansion of rusting metal contiguous to the masonry units.
• Moisture trapped behind painted masonry unable to escape.
• Masonry “sealed” with an inappropriate sealer.
• Effects of acid rain.
• Failure to properly repair mortar joints (repointing) soon after initial mortar failure.
• Using an incorrectly formulated repair mortar for repointing.
• Failure to repoint.
• Incompatible materials with differing physical characteristics contiguous to each other.
• Imperfections in the masonry units resulting from the
fabrication or manufacturing process.
• Incorrectly installed masonry units.
• Poor detailing, design, and specifications.
• Wind erosion.
• Biological growth (plant life).
• Rising damp (the vertical migration of water through masonry by way of capillary action).
• Splashback (water falling from the roofline, hitting the ground, and splashing up on the masonry).
• Being hit by vehicles, lawnmowers, and other such things.
• Settling.
• Birds and other animals.
• Seismic activity.
• Several of these forces often work simultaneously on
the masonry. The best way to identify the causes of deterioration is to call on the expertise of an experienced and trained professional who has a keen understanding of masonry materials science. Only after the cause has been determined can the most appropriate and enduring intervention method be recommended.

Deteriorated masonry can quickly lead to more serious
structural problems. Once masonry begins to deteriorate, the rate of
deterioration grows exponentially. Repairing masonry as soon as
possible costs much less in the long run and protects you from much
greater damage and expense in the future. Any damaged masonry
must be repaired when selling your home or an allowance given to the
buyer to complete the work. At the end of the day, the masonry will
look better repaired and avoid higher costs later.
The cause and extent of the deterioration, as well as the
environmental conditions the
masonry is exposed to, determine the best way to repair masonry.
Among the repair options are:
• Composite Patching Replacing the areas of deterioration with a specially formulated repair mortar that closely matches the color, texture, and physical characteristics of the host masonry.
• Dutchman Patches – Replacing small areas of
deterioration with new masonry that is carefully shaped to precisely fit the void created as a result of removing the deteriorated portion of the masonry. Dutchman patches are usually done on stone rather than brick or terra-cotta.
• Remove and Replace – Removing the entire masonry unit, then replacing it with new masonry.
• New Veneer – Removing the entire exposed face of the masonry to a predetermined depth, then replacing it with new masonry.
• Retooling – Reshaping the masonry unit where it sits
without removing any part of it.
• Consolidation – Carefully removing the badly
deteriorated masonry material, then applying various specialty treatments that strengthen and consolidate the remaining masonry unit. The masonry is not restored, but rather preserved in its existing condition.
Choosing the best method to repair deteriorated masonry is a critical decision that should be done by a trained, experienced, and competent professional. This will give you peace of mind that the repaired masonry will not only look good, but it will also endure the test of time.
