Why Bricks Crack (and How to Fix Them)
The environment plays a big role in brick cracking. Here in Michigan, materials are subject to a freeze-thaw cycle in the winter as water melts, evaporates, and freezes. This change in temperature creates a change in structural stability, which may wear down your bricks over time.
Another reason bricks may crack is because of improper joint sealing. If water is able to consistently penetrate the bricks, it may erode your masonry. This creates weak points that are subject to even more erosion.
Furthermore, you may see brick cracking because of foundation issues. You’ll need to resolve those foundation issues before repairing the bricks in order to ensure your masonry repairs last.

Will I Have to Replace My Bricks?
We recommend preserving your bricks when possible to ensure the best possible match for materials. Not all bricks are salvageable, so we may recommend replacement if your specific situation merits that. The best way to determine the course of action is to schedule a consultation. From there, you can expect the following:
- We assess each project to determine the best course for repair, whether it’s complete replacement, partial replacement, or strategic restoration.
- Your bricks may be stable and salvageable with new mortar.
- If there are underlying issues affecting your brickwork, we’ll pinpoint the source of the damage.
- You’ll get a transparent price estimate to make an informed decision about your masonry repair.
