Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a masonry chimney be inspected?▾

At least yearly if in service, and after a hard winter. The crown, joints and upper bricks degrade first.

Why is my brick spalling?▾

Because water enters through worn joints, freezes and blows off the brick face. Timely repointing avoids that cycle.

Can just a few bricks be replaced?▾

Yes, if the rest of the wall is sound. A good mason first looks for the cause so it does not repeat elsewhere.

What season suits masonry?▾

Spring through fall. Mortar must cure at adequate temperature.

How do I verify a contractor is licensed?▾

Ask for the RBQ licence number and search the Régie du bâtiment du Québec public registry.

Mason & Bricklayer in Drummondville: what to know

In Drummondville, masonry work mostly involves brick cladding on postwar homes, chimneys and garden walls.

Joints

A hollowed or crumbling joint lets water in. Frost does the rest, and the brick spalls. Preventive repointing costs a fraction of replacing a wall section.

Chimneys

A chimney exposed on all four sides takes more frost than any other masonry element. Cracked crown, worn joints, loosening bricks: it deserves periodic inspection, especially if a heating appliance is still connected.

Newer cladding

On a younger house, problems usually come from flashings and anchor points rather than the brick itself.

Licence

The contractor must hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence, liability insurance and a CNESST clearance.
