Warning Signs
When Brick Columns Need Immediate Attention
Brick damage doesn't fix itself. Spot these warning signs early to avoid expensive repairs later.
Vertical Cracks Through Brick or Mortar
Vertical Cracks Through Brick or Mortar
Cracks indicate stress from settling or movement. Load-bearing columns with cracks need assessment—frozen water expands in cracks and accelerates splitting through freeze-thaw cycles.
Column Leaning or Tilting Visibly
Column Leaning or Tilting Visibly
Any tilt signals structural failure from foundation shifting or soil erosion. Leaning columns supporting porch roofs or gates risk sudden collapse—immediate safety hazard.
Base Deterioration from Water Splash
Base Deterioration from Water Splash
Column bases take concentrated abuse from rain bounce and salt. Rising damp and freeze-thaw damage at the base weakens the entire column and spreads upward if ignored.

Structural masonry
Restoring strength and appearance
Brick column repair addresses damage to load-bearing and decorative columns—the vertical masonry elements that support porches, gates, fences, and other structures.
Columns fail differently than walls. They carry concentrated loads, so even minor damage can be significant. Repair may involve repointing, brick replacement, base rebuilding, or in severe cases, complete reconstruction with temporary support.
What Brick Column Repair Includes:
Structural assessment determines repair approach
Temporary support installed when needed for safety
Match existing brick and mortar for invisible repairs
When is Brick Column Repair Needed?
Visible cracking
Cracks through brick or mortar need assessment before they worsen.
Leaning column
Any tilt is a structural warning sign requiring immediate attention.
Base damage
Deteriorated bases undermine the entire column.
Our Services

Section replacement
Brick matching

Benefits of column repair
Structural safety and curb appeal
Structural safety
Load-bearing columns support roofs and gates. Proper repair ensures they continue to carry their intended loads safely.
Prevent collapse
Column failure can be sudden. Repairing damage early prevents dangerous collapse scenarios.
Curb appeal
Columns frame entrances and define property character. Well-maintained columns make a strong impression.
Stop damage spread
Water damage spreads quickly through columns. Early repair limits the scope and cost of work needed.
Protect property value
Damaged columns are visible problems that affect resale. Repairs are an investment that pays back.

What affects column repair cost
We assess on site and provide detailed quotes—here are the main factors
What Influences Your Quote?
Scope of damage
Repointing a few joints differs from rebuilding the base or reconstructing the entire column.
Structural requirements
Load-bearing columns may need temporary support and engineering coordination, adding to scope.
Column height and size
Taller columns and larger cross-sections require more material and labour.
Brick matching
Standard brick is readily available. Matching heritage or discontinued brick takes sourcing time.
Access conditions
Easy access is straightforward. Tight spaces or landscaping protection add complexity.

4.9/5
from 800+ verified reviewsAverage rating 4.9 out of 5 from 800+ reviewsThe porch columns were leaning and we were worried about the roof. Fix My Brick shored everything up, rebuilt the bases, and now they are solid. Professional work.
Patricia W.
Gate columns were cracking badly. They matched the 60-year-old brick perfectly and the repair is invisible. Very happy with the result.
George M.
One column needed complete rebuilding. They supported the porch roof safely throughout and the new column matches the others exactly.
