Brick and Lintel Repair Services in Nashville, TN
Brick and lintel damage can develop over time as moisture, corrosion, and foundation movement affect the structural components supporting your home's masonry. United Structural Systems provides brick and lintel repair in Nashville, TN, to address cracking, sagging garage door openings, and other structural masonry concerns, and to identify the conditions contributing to the damage.
Brick and lintel damage often develops gradually. Recognizing the warning signs early can help homeowners address structural masonry concerns before they become more extensive. Common signs include:
- Cracks in the brickwork: Stress causes visible fractures running through mortar lines or splitting individual bricks near window and door openings.
- Bowing or sagging lintels: A visible downward curve in the steel beam indicates that the metal cannot support the masonry weight overhead.
- Spalling bricks: Intense pressure forces individual brick faces to crack, flake, or pop out entirely from the wall facade.
- Deteriorating mortar: Crumbling mortar joints allow individual bricks to loosen, rotate out of alignment, and lose their essential structural bond.
If you notice any of these signs, scheduling a professional inspection can help identify the cause of the damage and determine appropriate repair options.
What Causes Brick and Lintel Damage?
Brick and lintel damage is often caused by a combination of moisture exposure, corrosion, and foundation movement. Over time, water can reach the steel lintel above windows and doors, allowing corrosion to develop. As the steel expands, it can place pressure on the surrounding brick and mortar, contributing to cracking, separation, and other issues that may require brick and lintel repair in Nashville, TN.
Changing soil conditions and foundation settlement can also place additional stress on masonry walls, causing bricks, mortar joints, and lintels to shift over time. During a professional inspection, our team evaluates both the visible masonry damage and the structural conditions contributing to the problem before discussing repair options. Depending on the inspection findings, masonry repair may be recommended to help address damaged brickwork and supporting structural components.
