Chimney Tuckpointing Done Right in Seminole Heights
Every face is checked first, then the joint work is matched to your brick and its old mortar.
Joints that have reached the point of repointing
Brick Industry Association maintenance guidance lists the conditions that call for repointing, including mortar eroded more than a quarter inch below the brick face, mortar that crumbles, joints with voids, hairline cracks and cracks where the mortar has pulled away from the brick. Each of these lets water into the wall behind the face.
Our masons check each face of your Seminole Heights chimney against those conditions and mark the areas that need work. You see where the failed joints are and how much of the stack they cover before any price is set, and the inspection is free.
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 Seminole Heights 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.
White deposits and what they say about the joints
Efflorescence, the white powder on brick, needs soluble salts, water and a path to the surface. When it keeps coming back around certain joints, it is often a sign that water is moving through them or through the brick nearby.
Our masons read those deposits as clues and look for the source before repointing. Brushing them off your Seminole Heights chimney without fixing the water only means brushing them off again.
Planning tuckpointing around the weather
Fresh mortar and heavy rain do not mix. A downpour on new joints can wash out the surface and stain the brick, and strong sun can dry them before they cure.
We schedule the work on your Seminole Heights chimney around the forecast and protect finished areas if the weather turns. When conditions are wrong, we reschedule rather than rush the job.
