Q: Can a brick mailbox be repaired?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s usually possible to repair damaged brick mailboxes. If the masonry is damaged, the brick can be cut out and replaced, or the mortar joints can be cut out and retucked. However, the new mortar will likely be different in color from the original mortar joints. In most cases, if the mailbox itself is damaged, it&rsquo;s possible to cut it out and replace it. Consult a masonry contractor to determine whether it&rsquo;s worth repairing your brick mailbox based on its value and amount of damage.</p></div>

Q: What causes brick spalling?

• <div><p>Brick spalling&mdash;which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time&mdash;is caused by a few different conditions. These include:</p><ul><li><p>Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles</p></li><li><p>Use of non-breathable sealants</p></li><li><p>High-pressure water cleaning</p></li><li><p>Improper installation</p></li></ul><p>While you can&rsquo;t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don&rsquo;t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/masonry/">masonry contractor in your area</a> for your project.</p></div>
