BRICK & MASONRY LINTEL REPAIR in Portland, OR
Serving Beaverton, Salem & The Portland Metro Area
Expert Masonry Lintel Repair in Portland
When the brick above a chimney opening or other masonry structure begins to sag, crack, or show signs of weakening, it often points to a failing masonry lintel. At Five Star Chimney Repair, we specialize in brick and masonry lintel repair in Portland, OR, and the surrounding metro area. Properly repairing a masonry lintel is essential to maintaining both the safety and appearance of your chimney or brick structure. Our trained masons bring years of experience to every lintel repair, ensuring your home’s brickwork remains strong and stable.
Lintel issues can occur when water infiltrates through mortar joints, when metal lintels rust over time, or when mortar deteriorates due to weather exposure. Because lintels support the bricks above openings, even small cracks or shifts can lead to larger structural problems if left unaddressed. At Five Star Chimney Repair, we know what to look for and how to resolve these issues effectively so your chimney stands secure for years to come.
Our Lintel Repair Process
The process of repairing a masonry lintel requires careful inspection and planning. At Five Star Chimney Repair, we begin every lintel repair with a thorough evaluation of your chimney’s brick and mortar. We look for signs of rusted or failing metal supports, cracked mortar joints, and shifting brickwork. Understanding the root cause of the lintel problem allows us to select the right repair strategy that will restore strength and stability to the chimney.
Once the problem is identified, our team carefully removes damaged mortar around the lintel area. New mortar that matches the color and texture of the existing bricks is carefully applied, and any necessary reinforcement is installed to ensure long-lasting performance.
