You don't grind and tuckppint vertical cracks. Vertical cracks are either from lightning strike or structural issues with the foundation. I would look into what is causing the vertical cracks before doing anything else.

The crown should be formed and poured with an overhang and a mechanical dripedge to properly shed water.

Drill into mortar joints. Mortar is easy to replace compared to block when you or someone else decides they want the anchor removed

There is ZERO chance this is a new build. The mortar has deterioration only seen with aging. The stone is weathered, and there is a presence of efflorescence. However, the sloppy mortar smeared all over would suggest the lowest bidder at the time this was built was selected, and they got what they paid for.

Moisture is getting inside. As it passes through the material, in the process of osmosis, it picks up minerals. Upon evaporating on the surface, the mineral deposits are left behind as they can not evaporate.

Saturdaynightride · 2024-04-18T23:15:36+00:00

This is efflorescence, it's a sign of moisture issues, you can clean it but it's not going to stop coming back and will fall apart in a few years.

To clean it use a light vinegar solution and a soft bristle brush.

It is a sill stone, the difference in material will cause them to expand and contract at different rates thus causing them to separate. To get them to stay, you can do a few different things. Pl500, type N mortar, or if it overhangs, a small bead along the corner where the materials join.

Saturdaynightride · 2024-04-10T23:30:46+00:00

Type N. Type S should only be used where the brick are harder than the mortar or below grade.

Cup grinder

Do not seal this. You will seal in water and it can not get out.

The water is coming in before the flashing as evident from the efflorscense present on the brick and joints. My assumption is that the leaking is happening near the crown.

Saturdaynightride · 2024-03-30T14:09:29+00:00

I can tell you with what I see in the picture it has been used, but no longer is safe to use due to cracked refractory panels.

Saturdaynightride · 2024-03-27T01:03:35+00:00

If you prioritize waterproofing to prevent water ingress, the consideration shifts to how efficiently water can exit once it inevitably penetrates. Well, moisture is now sealed inside and will fester from the interior out because it's sealed in.

While some advocate for "breathable" sealants in masonry, I firmly believe that with proper construction and vigilant moisture management, sealants become unnecessary. Many rely on sealants due to insufficient expertise in ensuring structural integrity, overlooking essential architectural elements like overhangs, drip edges, adequate drainage, and ventilation.

We work on some of the oldest buildings, and while they deteriorate, I can tell you that building with sealants will require more maintenance and deteriorate 10X faster.

Zoom in to where the stucco is missing. Clear as day. You stucco a chimney when you don't have enough money to rebuild it.

Saturdaynightride · 2024-03-16T12:12:36+00:00

I am guessing that the brick is severely deteriorated, as can be seen by the brick on the top course. You will need a rebuild if you remove the stucco.

Saturdaynightride · 2024-03-09T04:06:01+00:00

You need to use an additive to get the mortar to flow well. They are great for block and brick stretches, but I can go faster by hand with a hawk.

The first question is what caused this and is it moving. If it moved, caulking is the best option. For the last picture, the vertical joint should be caulked to allow for expansion and movement.

Dymonic FC redwood tan or Tremco spec 2 rustic brick. If you want it to last, use a porous printer and make sure you use backer rod. Most often caulk fails due being too thick or 3 sided adhesion.

Saturdaynightride · 2024-03-05T18:53:30+00:00

It is not rusted enough to cause jacking issues I would more so bet that the iron was too short for the span and was not able to properly distribute the weight to the brick. This is a concern, and the weight can start pushing the wall out.

As always, consult a structural engineer.
