Urgent! Feedback needed ASAP! Brick veneer issue
Looking to buy this house and need feedback ASAP because the July 4th holiday weekend effectively cuts my option period in half. Today may be the last day I can actually get contractors out there.
Problem: There is a crack in the mortar that spans almost the entire archway above the front door. The crack stops at the bottom of the arch and does not run all the way to the ground. It appears that it has likely been repaired/patched/covered up previously b/c the mortar is a different color.
Question: How severe is this? Do I need to have a mason come inspect? Is this simple repair where they just patch it with more mortar? Or does this mean the entire front brick veneer/facade above the arch going to fall off the house?
I don't know enough about brick veneers to know if it's attached from behind.
