Tuck Pointing
When It Comes To Tuck pointing Work – We’re The Experts!
There are various causes for brick and mortar to crack and deteriorate. Water, snow, and ice can easily penetrate into the cracks to cause more deterioration to the surrounding areas. In some cases, after the tuckpointing procedures have started, bricks or stones can crumble or shift in place. Rebuilding a portion or all of the area may then be necessary.
If you’re seeing loose bricks, or pieces of broken mortar around the base of the chimney, chances are, it may be too late for a tuckpointing repair to be done in an effective way. Once a chimney has reached this point of disrepair, a rebuild might be the only option.
This is a more expensive alternative, but a chimney that is not structurally sound could damage your roof or other parts of your home if it collapses, or even worse, pose a threat to your family’s safety. Regular inspections and cleanings by a certified chimney repair specialist will help you prevent deterioration and keep your chimney in good working order.
To repair masonry joints, Chimney Doctors techs will grind out the damaged mortar and create a clean, prepped groove that allows the fresh mortar to bind and seal. We’ll select and prepare materials that are specifically designed to match the original construction in look, permeability, strength and texture, and then we’ll touch up and strike those joints resulting in the tuckpointed area being functionally and aesthetically as good as new.
