Renewing the Joints, Protecting the Brick
Book within 72 hours of the free inspection and the repointing is 10% off. Here is how our masons renew joints in Citrus Park.
Repointing the whole damaged area
Patching a joint here and there leaves a patchwork of old and new mortar, and the failing joints around each patch keep letting water in. Brick industry guidance is to repoint all the joints within an affected wall area, while sound mortar elsewhere can stay.
We mark the failed area on each face of your Citrus Park chimney and repoint it as a whole. Faces with sound mortar are left alone, so you pay only for the joints that need it.
Curing new joints in sun and heat
Fresh mortar needs moisture to cure. Masonry guidance calls for keeping new lime-rich joints damp by misting and shielding them from direct sun, since mortar that dries out too quickly can crack and lose strength.
On hot days in Citrus Park, our crew works each face at the right time of day, covers finished areas and mists them as needed. We also tell you how long to keep hoses, pressure washers and heavy cleaning off the new joints.
Stopping the water before repointing
Repointing will not solve a problem caused by something else. National Park Service guidance says leaks and other moisture sources should be dealt with first, or the new joints will fail for the same reason as the old ones.
On a chimney, the usual culprits are a cracked crown, loose flashing or an open flue top. We check those during the free inspection in Citrus Park and tell you if they need repair before, or alongside, the tuckpointing.
Salt, moisture and chimney joints near the bay
Salt carried in moist air can soak into masonry and crystallize as it dries. National Park Service guidance warns that mortar less permeable than the brick forces moisture out through the brick face, where salt deposits can damage it.
On chimneys in Citrus Park, our masons choose repointing mortar that lets moisture leave through the joints, which protects the brick in salty air. It is one more reason we avoid hard cement mixes on older brick.
