What Goes Into Tuckpointing That Lasts
Every repointing job in New Tampa is explained first and backed by our workmanship warranty.
A small test area before the whole chimney
National Park Service guidance recommends a small test panel, usually about three feet square on brickwork, to try the raking method, the mortar and the finish before the full job starts. It shows how the new joints will look and whether the method harms the brick.
On larger repointing jobs in New Tampa, we work a test area first and check it with you. Smaller repairs use a dried sample instead, and the aim is the same, no surprises when the work is finished.
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 New Tampa chimney and repoint it as a whole. Faces with sound mortar are left alone, so you pay only for the joints that need it.
When a brick needs replacing, not repointing
Tuckpointing renews the mortar around sound brick. A brick that has spalled, cracked through or lost its face is a different repair, cutting out the damaged unit and setting a replacement in fresh mortar.
We note damaged bricks while checking the joints on your New Tampa chimney and list brick replacement separately. Both are often done on the same visit, with the joints around the new bricks finished to match.
Firebox joints use a different mortar
Inside the fireplace, the firebox is built with firebrick and refractory mortar made to take direct flame. Florida's code has firebrick set in medium-duty refractory mortar with joints kept to a quarter inch or less, which is why exterior repointing mortar does not belong there.
If the firebox joints in your New Tampa fireplace are open or crumbling, we explain firebox repair as a separate job with heat-rated materials. The two are often booked together, and each is priced on its own.
