Brick Repair in Central Illinois
Fix Cracked, Crumbling, or Damaged Brick Before It Spreads
Brick buildings are built to last, but time and weather take a toll. You might notice cracking along the mortar joints, bricks beginning to shift, or signs of water damage near your foundation or chimney. These early warnings shouldn’t be ignored. They often point to deeper issues that can grow worse with each season.
At Force Masonry Construction, we repair damaged brick the right way. Our work restores strength and stability while protecting the look of your home or building. We serve homeowners and commercial clients across Central Illinois with repairs that are built to last.
Common Causes of Brick Deterioration
Water Infiltration
Moisture is one of the most common causes of brick damage. When water seeps into your masonry, it can weaken mortar joints, leave behind white powdery residue (efflorescence), and cause bricks to flake or break apart, a condition known as spalling.
Foundation Settlement
As buildings shift over time, the pressure on your brickwork increases. This can lead to cracked mortar lines, bowed walls, or visibly displaced bricks that require structural repair.
Physical Impact
Vehicle strikes, falling trees, or other accidental impacts can cause localized brick damage. Even small sections of impact should be repaired quickly to prevent spreading damage or water entry.
