Lintel Replacement In Brick Veneer

10/31/2013

 
B-Shell
Lintel Replacement in Brick Veneer is often necessary after 40 or 50 years if the original installation was flawed. In this case plain steel lintels without flashing or weep holes had swollen to more than twice their original thickness, which heaved the veneer and caused large, long cracks to appear. 
The solution is simply a new lintel installed in proper fashion. Most masons can manage the support of the veneer above when the span is 3' to 6' as was the case here. The detail provide instruction for the sequence in which the repair should be made.
The key features of the detail are the:
  • the lintel, scheduled elsewhere, is hot-dipped galvanized steel
  • flashing was impractical because of the veneer anchors
  • the elevations showed the amount of tuck pointing required to repair the cracks after the veneer settled into its original position.
  • windows are often replaced because of the difficulty of working around them
