Cinder Block Wall Replacement
Cinder block wall replacement is a relatively simple process if you have the knowledge, time and skills. However, if you don't want to spend your days tearing down, cleaning and rebuilding your cinder block, Masonry Lubbock can help.
If you do decide to go the route of a DIY cinder block wall, below are some tips to make sure the wall is built correctly. Drill holes into the existing blocks with a masonry drill bit, making four to five columns of holes of three holes spaced evenly into the wall around the area to be repaired. These holes make it easy to demo the wall. Then use a sledge hammer to knock this section of the wall. Next, use a chisel to scrape away the remaining mortar from the surrounding cinder blocks. Clean the area and remove the debris so you have a clean work area and a good surface to apply the new grout to. Mix and prepare the mortar. Spread this new mortar with a trowel on the base where the new cinder blocks will be placed. The thickness should be approximately the same as the existing mortar. Apply mortar to the sides of the new block where it meets the other blocks. Always try to match the thickness of the existing mortar. Carefully place the new cinder block into the wall. Wipe off excess mortar and smooth for a clean finish. Repeat these steps until the wall is complete. Let the mortar dry completely before doing anything else to the wall. The type of mortar determines the drying time.
Removing Mortar from Cinder Block Walls
Mortar is the material used to join bricks, blocks and other similar building materials together to form a strong wall or structure. Mortar is a mixture of cement, sand, hydrated lime and water that forms a strong cement-like mixture that can be used in a variety of construction applications. That is why people sometimes call these walls concrete block walls or cement walls. When replacing a masonry wall, the dried mortar has solidified onto the bricks or blocks and must be removed. There are several ways to do this. If you do this alone, we recommend avoiding strong chemicals. The most effective way to remove mortar is to use old-fashioned tools - a chisel and a hammer. Chisel the mortar by tapping it lightly with a hammer. After the end of the chisel is pressed into the mortar, tap it with a hammer. This should be done until the mortar is removed from each brick or block, including the sides and back, so that new mortar can be placed around the brick or block and create a strong finish. After that, brush and prepare a new mortar.
