Brick and Mortar Repairs

Settling foundation caused this brick to split, along with the mortar to separate.
Here is a picture of the split brick caused by stress of the foundation settling.


(Common in the Dallas, Texas area)
This mortar separation and splitting of bricks is from top to bottom
A little difficult to see in this photo but I used Gorilla Glue to reattach the split halfs of the brick
Brick glued and clamped
Split bricks reinserted and re-mortared
Below the electric box was damaged as badly as above it (pictures above).There were a total of 7 split bricks. Cracks are practically invisible now.
