There are a lot of buildings that are made of brick. When there is damage to brick it doesn’t mean that the whole wall needs to be redone, there are ways to fix it. In this article, we are going to look at a brick repair.
In brick repair, the most popular techniques are to replace the brick completely or to use mortar repair. Mortar repair can be done when there is damage to the brick but it doesn’t make sense to replace the whole thing.

When it is time to repair brick, the top layer of the brick where the damage is seen, is removed. Water is sprayed on the brick to get it ready for the mortar.
