Brick Repair and Installation for Ottawa Properties

Brick is known for its durability, but even strong masonry can deteriorate over time. Ottawa's seasonal temperature changes, moisture and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can cause mortar joints to weaken, bricks to crack and sections of masonry to shift.

At Lesway Masonry, we provide professional brick work for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you need a small masonry repair, damaged brick replaced, an existing wall restored or new brick installed, we focus on completing the work carefully and matching the surrounding masonry as closely as possible.

With more than 21 years of masonry experience, we approach every brick repair with the long-term condition of the wall in mind, not simply the appearance of the damaged area.

Our goal is to repair the cause and condition of damaged masonry, not simply hide the visible symptoms.

Our Approach

How We Approach Brick Repair

Good masonry repair starts with understanding what is damaged and why. We look at the surrounding masonry before recommending the best approach.

1

Inspect the Masonry

We examine the damaged brick, mortar joints and surrounding wall to understand the condition of the masonry.

2

Identify the Repair

We determine whether the project requires brick replacement, repointing, restoration or a combination of repairs.

3

Complete the Work

The repair is completed carefully with attention to the existing brick pattern, joints and surrounding masonry.

4

Finish With Care

We review the completed work and focus on leaving the repaired area clean, finished and consistent with the property.

Why Ottawa Weather Can Be Hard on Brick

Ottawa experiences significant temperature swings throughout the year. When moisture enters small cracks in brick or mortar and then freezes, it expands. Repeated freezing and thawing can gradually widen cracks and weaken masonry.

That is why early brick repair can be important. A deteriorating mortar joint or damaged brick may look minor today, but continued water penetration can allow the surrounding masonry to deteriorate further.

We see these conditions across Ottawa neighbourhoods, from older masonry properties in Downtown Ottawa and Gloucester to homes in Nepean, Barrhaven, Orleans, Greely, Metcalfe and Kanata.

Brick Work FAQs

Common Questions About Brick Repair in Ottawa

Here are a few common questions we hear from homeowners when they notice cracked brick, deteriorating mortar or other masonry damage.

How do I know if my brick needs repair?

Common warning signs include cracked bricks, crumbling mortar, missing mortar joints, flaking brick surfaces, water staining, bulging walls or sections of masonry that appear to be shifting.

Can individual damaged bricks be replaced?

In many situations, individual damaged bricks can be removed and replaced without rebuilding an entire wall. The surrounding masonry must first be inspected to determine whether the damage is isolated or part of a larger issue.

What is brick repointing?

Repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar from the joints between bricks and replacing it with new mortar. This can improve both the appearance and integrity of existing masonry.

Why do bricks start to crumble?

Moisture is often a major factor. Water can enter porous or damaged masonry and freeze during Ottawa winters. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can gradually cause the face of the brick to flake, crack or break apart.

Do you handle small masonry repairs in Ottawa?

Yes. Lesway Masonry works on a range of masonry projects, including smaller residential brick repairs as well as larger restoration and brick installation projects.

What areas do you provide brick repair services in?
