Vertical Masonry Separation
Vertical Masonry Separation
Vertical masonry separation occurs when brick veneer or masonry begins to pull away or develop a visible vertical gap, often around corners, windows, doors, or transitions between sections of the home. In slab-on-grade homes, this can be a visible indication that different areas of the foundation are moving or settling unevenly.
What to Look For
- Vertical gaps between brick and adjacent surfaces
- Separation around doors or windows
- Cracked or displaced mortar joints
- Gaps that appear to be widening over time
- Brick sections that appear to shift or pull away from the structure
How Parker Foundation Repair Can Help
At Parker Foundation Repair, we evaluate masonry separation as part of a comprehensive foundation examination. We look at the location and pattern of the separation along with other physical stress signs and elevation changes throughout the home.
Rather than assuming every crack requires the same repair, we identify the underlying movement and discuss appropriate repair options based on your home’s condition.
