How Our Masons Repoint Chimneys in Lutz
Repointing in Lutz begins with a free look at every face and a written price for the joint work.
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 Lutz 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.
Dampening brick before pointing
Dry brick pulls water out of fresh mortar too fast, which weakens it. Masonry guidance calls for dampening the joints and letting the brick absorb the surface water, so the masonry is damp with no standing water when the new mortar is pressed in.
Our crew adjusts that step to the brick and the day's conditions on your Lutz chimney. Very absorbent brick may need misting more than once before it is ready to point.
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 Lutz, 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.
Keeping an eye on your chimney joints
Masonry guidance recommends looking over brickwork periodically, using binoculars for high areas such as a chimney. Watch for joints that look recessed, sandy or dark after rain, and for pieces of mortar on the roof or the ground.
If you notice changes, note where they are and call our Lutz team for a free inspection. Catching joint wear early keeps tuckpointing a modest job instead of a larger masonry repair.
