reactions, elastic deformations or shrinkage etc. They can damage

Dear Remove the crack area broken bricks
Before doing any repair of cracks, make
sure that the cracks are stabilized and are not widening further. Remove
broken bricks by scratching cement mortar from the joints gently.
Prepare the surface
All loose material should be cleaned from
the portion by brushing and washing. Wet the surface 24 hours before
application of new plaster.
Lay MS bars with cement concrete and fix new bricks thoroughly
Lay fresh cement mortar with coarse sand
in 1:4 and fix new bricks. Fill all joints around bricks with mortar
tightly with the help of iron tools.
Do curing and finishing
The repaired surface should be kept moist
up to 7 days. When surface is dry, it should be finished according to
adjoining area.
Take help of good mason for repair and if possible than make visit of civil engineer for site inspection and advice for possible guidance in repair work.
