What Goes Into Tuckpointing That Lasts
Local tuckpointing pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every job in Palm River-Clair Mel.
Raking out old mortar to the right depth
Good tuckpointing starts with removing enough old mortar. The Brick Industry Association's maintenance note has failed mortar cut back evenly to twice the joint width or more, roughly three quarters of an inch on a standard joint, and further wherever the mortar is still soft.
A shallow cut leaves new mortar sitting on a thin skin, and it tends to let go early. Our crew in Palm River-Clair Mel rakes every joint to depth before any new mortar goes in, and that preparation is written into your estimate.
Keeping the original joint width
Joints that get wider during raking change the look of a chimney and weaken the edges of the brick. Careless power tools are the usual cause, and masonry guidance warns against overcutting for exactly that reason.
Our masons keep the new joints to the width of the originals on your Palm River-Clair Mel chimney. Where earlier repairs widened some joints, we explain what can and cannot be brought back.
What your tuckpointing estimate spells out
A clear estimate lists the faces and courses to be repointed, the raking depth, the mortar type and color, how the joints will be finished and how the new work will be cured and protected. It also lists anything outside the job, such as crown or brick work.
Our estimates in Palm River-Clair Mel are written that way, with upfront pricing and no hidden fees. The inspection before it is free, and joint work booked within 72 hours of it is 10% off.
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 Palm River-Clair Mel, 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.
