Brick, stone and mortar in Murfreesboro homes
Newer brick veneer is a rain screen over a framed wall, and the problems are missing weep holes, cracked lintels and step cracks from settlement; the fix is usually local and the cause is often water.
What the masonry is — veneer over a frame, a solid wall, a chimney, a stone foundation — decides the mortar and the method, and a mason who does not ask has not thought about it.
The ground moves the masonry — clay that pushes a retaining wall, rock that makes a footing, a slope that makes a wall necessary — and the mason reads the ground before the wall.
In a fast-built town the brick veneer is young and the problems are settlement cracks and missing weeps; the repair is local and the cause is usually water.
Where limestone is near the surface, native stone is the local material, and a dry-laid or mortared limestone wall built well is the region’s own vernacular.

Why Murfreesboro homeowners call a mason
The region also has a very heavy concentration of brick veneer on suburban homes from the 1970s onward, and those walls fail in a specific and predictable way: the steel lintels above garage doors and wide windows rust, expand and lift the brick above them. It shows first as a horizontal crack following the line of the opening, and it is a structural repair rather than a cosmetic one.
- A chimney crown cracked, or the chimney leaning away from the house
- White efflorescence staining, which indicates water moving through the masonry
- A sagging or rusted steel lintel above a window or a garage opening
- Mortar joints that crumble or can be raked out with a screwdriver
Repointing over a structural problem. If the wall is moving, new mortar cracks in the same place. Find out why first.
