Cracked Brick

Stair-step cracks in brick veneer and mortar joints are one of the first things homeowners notice. We help you tell the difference between normal aging and active foundation movement.

What we look for

  • Stair-step cracking patterns along mortar joints
  • Brick veneer separation or displacement
  • Cracks above or below windows and doors
  • Whether the cracking is active or historic
  • Connection to foundation settlement
  • Mortar and masonry condition overall

You’ll get clear answers and practical next steps, in plain language, backed by a written summary you can keep or share.
