The Work Behind Sound Chimney Joints
Local tuckpointing pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every job in Brandon.
Cleaning raked joints before new mortar goes in
Dust and slivers left in a raked joint stop new mortar from gripping. Brick industry guidance calls for removing loose pieces and cleaning joints by brushing, oil-free compressed air or rinsing with water, so the fresh mortar holds to the sound mortar and brick behind it.
On your Brandon chimney, each joint is cleaned out after raking and checked before we start filling. It is the unseen step that does the most to decide how long the repair lasts.
Matching the color of new and old mortar
Mortar color comes largely from its sand, and fresh mortar looks darker wet than it will dry. Masonry guidance is to compare samples wet against wet and dry against dry, and pigments can adjust a mix when the sand alone cannot get there.
Our crew mixes a sample and lets it dry against your Brandon chimney before the full batch is made. You see the color while there is still time to change it.
Hairline cracks and face grouting
Not every crack in a mortar joint calls for raking it out. For fine hairline cracks where the mortar is otherwise sound, brick industry guidance describes face grouting, working a thin grout into the cracks at the surface, as an option.
Our masons tell you whether the cracks on your Brandon chimney are hairline and stable or a sign of deeper failure. Face grouting is proposed only where the joint behind the crack is still solid.
Leaving sound mortar alone
Good mortar is worth keeping. Raking out joints that are still hard and firmly attached to the brick adds cost and risks chipping brick edges without making the chimney any better.
Our masons test the joints across each face of your Brandon chimney and repoint only the ones that have failed. You see the difference marked out before any price is set.
