Failed Brick Veneer Over Garage Doors

I am cutting a jigsaw.

Failed brick veneer over garage doors.

Is that brick veneer. P i know this has come up before but most of the forums that i have looked at seem to pass the buck. It is only serious if it needs to be repaired. Longer spans such as those over garage doors should be designed by a structural engineer to carry brick floor and roof loads.

Probably yes to both. Surprise there is no lintel. You could fill the crack and wait a year to see if there is more movement. Or you could get an inspector out to take a look and.

The garage wall and the brick veneer are a totally different arena altogether. I have 5 courses of bricks above the oening. The wood frame behind all that brick is sagging at the doorway and has caused that crack. Again this is attributable to builder error or stupidity.

The other nice thing is that the garage doors are not ugly metal or fiberglass doors but carriage style doors that look like they are constructed of multiple planks of wood. Reface your garage door with this wood veneer and make it look like a 10 000 door. Not as cheep as caulk but looks better. It s a bad spot to be in and fixing problems like this could easily cost six figures.

We recommend a minimum l5x3x5 16 llv to be bolted to the wood header with 1 2 x 3 1 2 galvanized lag bolts at 2 0 c c. I have a 16 foot garage opening in a remodeling job whose exterior is brick veneer. How it has stayed up i have no idea much less how it was done. The brick is sitting on the lintel so you would have to take out the door trim to get to it.

With brick filling in between and around the paths. Is it a double garage with one door. As for a cosmetic correction you could cut out the cracked brick and reset new in their place. Sag in double wide garage door lintel beams can be tragic.

The steel angle lintel that supports the brick located above the garage door opening must be bolted or welded to a structural back up that carries or supports the entire weight of the brick. Some wood header manufacturers will design wood headers to carry brick loads.
