This one had it all. A full vertical crack running top to bottom on one wall, and a blown out corner where the bricks had completely separated and fallen out. Years of Michigan freeze-thaw cycles doing what they do.
We cut out the cracked joints, rebuilt the corner from the base up course by course, matched the brick, and repointed everything tight. The mortar looks dark in the after photos because itβs fresh. Itβll lighten up significantly over the next few weeks and blend right in with the existing joints. Thatβs completely normal and part of the curing process.
End result, structurally sound, weathertight, and looking clean.
If your brick is cracking, shifting, or falling apart, donβt wait on it. Water gets in, temps drop, and it only gets worse. Catch it early and itβs a repair. Wait too long and itβs a rebuild.
