Additionally, in places such as at window and door openings or at corners, because of the movement caused by variations in moisture content in the walls, or in the ground that supports them, chemical reactions or in general by temperature variations, will cause the bricks to crack exposing the building to further damages. It is important that the causes of the brick deterioration and failure are identified by specialists, which can then undertake the most appropriate intervention.

Mortar Repairs
Mortar repairs, involving pointing and re-pointing is needed when the existing mortar joints start to crumble and breakdown, which will lead to the apparition of holes in the brickwork. The mortar joints usually fail because of weak lime stone mortar or because they have been exposed to extreme temperatures or large temperature variations. To repair the mortar would usually involve clearing up the joints of any existing damaged mortar and then applying fresh mortar by injection or by trowel. The new applied mortar should have the same finish as the existing mortar joints. A neglected damaged mortar can lead to structural damage and cracking of the bricks, which in turn will lead to other more serious problems.
