Do cracks in brick always mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>New constructions need time to “settle” and sometimes, small hairline cracks occur as a result. Larger horizontal or “stair step” cracks, however, are usually a sign of a deeper, more severe issue. It could indicate an issue with the soil beneath the home, a problem caused by an overgrown tree, or another problem.</p></div>

What kind of bricks do you need for a brick oven?

• <div><p>Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it’s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case—and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case. </p></div>

Q: Do cracks in brick always mean foundation problems?

• <div><p>New constructions need time to &ldquo;settle&rdquo; and sometimes, small hairline cracks occur as a result. Larger horizontal or &ldquo;stair step&rdquo; cracks, however, are usually a sign of a deeper, more severe issue. It could indicate an issue with the soil beneath the home, a problem caused by an overgrown tree, or another problem.</p></div>

Q: What does mortar do?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-most-common-masonry-materials.htm">Mortar is a mixture of sand and cement</a> that binds materials, such as bricks, stones, and concrete blocks, together. Think of it as the glue that fills in the gaps between bricks and stones, then seals them in place to prevent damage or deterioration. Mortar also helps spread the load across a wall or structure, keeping cracks and shifting at bay. </p></div>

Q: What color should I paint my brick house?

• <div><p>There are tons of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-exterior-house-colors.htm">paint colors to choose from</a> for your brick house, but here are some great choices you should consider. Different shades of white can add a modern vibe. Instead of a bright white, try off-white or cream-white.</p><p>If you&rsquo;re not into the idea of a white house, then you might go the opposite route and go with a matte black tone. Black painted brick houses have their own contemporary aesthetic that might fit your vision.</p><p>Additionally, some great <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/barndominium-exterior-paint-colors.htm">barndominium colors</a> include gray, blue, and sage green.</p></div>

Q: Can you use bleach on brick?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of bleach and a gallon of warm water to clean stubborn stains from brick. Do not use bleach without diluting it in water. Undiluted bleach may cause discoloration. You can use either Oxygen bleach such as OxiClean or chlorine bleach. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling bleach.</p></div>
