Exterior problems
Over time leaking water from a downspout can lead to the spalling of brick work. Find the source of water and direct accordingly.
Cracked mortar joints in brick work can indicate the failure of a support beam under the brick veneer in the structure. May require beam support adjustments.
Cracks can form from the settlement of foundations and footings. Sealing of foundations would be advised.
