Brick Arch Repair Solutions
We offer a variety of professional brick arch repair services such as:
Crack Stitching
This technique involves using stainless steel reinforcement bars to repair cracks in the brickwork. The bars are inserted into the brick joints and anchored in place with epoxy resin and mortar. This strengthens the brickwork and prevents further cracking.
Arch Reinforcement
This technique involves using bed-joint reinforcement to strengthen the arch. Bed-joint reinforcement involves inserting a mesh or wire reinforcement into the mortar joints to add strength and stability to the brickwork. This technique is particularly useful for arches that are showing signs of bulging or displacement.
Lintel Replacement
If the arch lintels are damaged or deteriorated, we can remove them and install new ones. We use high-quality materials that are specifically designed for structural support, ensuring that the new lintels are strong and durable.
Repointing
Repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar from between the bricks and replacing it with fresh, durable material. This technique helps to protect the brickwork from further damage and helps restore the structural integrity of the arch.
By offering a variety of brick arch repair solutions, we can address different types of damage and tailor our services to meet your specific needs. Our skilled professionals use proven techniques and high-quality materials to ensure that each repair is strong, durable, and long-lasting.

“A & X Masonry worked on my porch repair a few weeks ago. The mortar and bricks were separating and cracking from the stone arch over the porch. I am so very pleased with the work that was done.” -Paula F.
Types of Brick Arch Damages
Look for the following signs of brick arch damage:
- Cracks: These are fissures or breaks in the brickwork and can be caused by a variety of factors, including structural movement, weathering, or material degradation. Cracks can vary in size and severity and may require different repair methods depending on their location and cause.
- Bulging: This type of damage occurs when the brick arch swells or protrudes outward from its original position. It can be caused by poor construction techniques, such as inadequate support or lack of proper reinforcement. Masonry walls settling can also contribute to bulging.
- Displacement: Displacement happens when bricks move out of place due to external forces. This can occur because of structural damage or environmental factors, such as earthquakes or floods.
- Corrosion: This type of damage is caused by the deterioration of metal elements within the arch lintels. It can occur over time due to exposure to moisture or other environmental factors. Corrosion can weaken the arch and cause it to fail if not addressed promptly.
Causes of Brick Arch Damages
The main causes of brick arch damage include:
Structural Movement
This occurs when a building settles or shifts due to a variety of factors, including soil conditions, foundation issues, or external forces. Structural movement can cause stress on the brick arch and lead to cracks, bulging, or displacement.
Poor Construction Techniques
Unstable brick structures can result from a lack of proper support, inadequate reinforcement, or other construction flaws. These can lead to cracks, bulging, or other forms of damage to the brick arch over time.
Weathering
Erosion and water infiltration can weaken the masonry arch over time. Exposure to the elements, such as rain, wind, or freeze-thaw cycles, can also cause damage to the brickwork, particularly if the arch is not properly sealed or protected.
Material Degradation
The natural deterioration of brick and mortar over time can also contribute to brick arch damage. As the materials age and weaken, they become more susceptible to cracking, bulging, or displacement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some frequently asked questions about brick arch repair:
The cost of repairing a brick arch can vary widely depending on the severity of the damage, the accessibility of the arch, and regional labor costs. Minor repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while extensive restoration work could be several thousand dollars.
Common methods for repairing brick arches include repointing to replace eroded mortar, injecting grout for stabilization, replacing damaged or deteriorated bricks, and installing supports or ties to reinforce the structural integrity of the arch.
We strongly recommend hiring professionals for this type of work to ensure safety and quality results.
For minor cosmetic fixes, a DIY approach might be sufficient. However, for any structural repairs or significant damage, it is highly recommended to hire a professional masonry expert. Incorrect repairs can lead to further damage and may compromise the safety of the structure.

A brick lintel is a horizontal support structure typically made of steel or concrete, used over doorways, windows, or other openings to bear the load from the structure above. An arch lintel, on the other hand, is shaped in a curved arch and is also built from bricks or stones. The arch design not only supports loads effectively but also adds an aesthetic element and can distribute weight over a wider area than straight lintels.
Regular maintenance, including repointing and timely brick repair, can help prevent damage. Also, consider installing proper drainage to prevent water infiltration and protect exterior walls.
