Car Hit Your Brick Wall? What to Do Next

Make it safe

Keep people away from damaged masonry, which can fall without warning.

Photograph the damage, vehicle, and plate, and get a police report if another driver was involved.

The driver's auto insurance typically covers damage; your homeowners policy may apply otherwise.

A mason should assess whether the footing was damaged. Often, the wall section needs rebuilding from the footing up.

Can you give an estimate for the insurance company?

Yes, with photos and itemized scope.

How fast can a damaged wall be secured?

Usually within a day through our emergency service.

Can the original bricks be reused?

Often, which helps match appearance.
