Renewing the Joints, Protecting the Brick
Repointing in Tampa Palms begins with a free look at every face and a written price for the joint work.
Hand chisels, grinders and the edges of each brick
The tool that removes mortar can also chip the brick beside it. Masonry guidance notes that a grinder cannot clear the full depth of the short vertical joints without damaging adjacent brick, so those are finished with a chisel, and power saws on narrow joints can break brick edges and overcut the ends.
Our masons use grinders only where they are safe on the long horizontal joints and switch to hand tools for the rest. It takes longer, and it keeps the brick on your Tampa Palms chimney square-edged and sound.
Matching the color of new and old mortar
Mortar color comes largely from its sand, and fresh mortar looks darker wet than it will dry. Masonry guidance is to compare samples wet against wet and dry against dry, and pigments can adjust a mix when the sand alone cannot get there.
Our crew mixes a sample and lets it dry against your Tampa Palms chimney before the full batch is made. You see the color while there is still time to change it.
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 Tampa Palms chimney and repoint it as a whole. Faces with sound mortar are left alone, so you pay only for the joints that need it.
Plants and vines growing on the chimney
Ivy and other vines work their roots into mortar joints, and pulling them off can tear loose mortar and brick faces with them. Brick industry guidance is to cut vines at the base and let them wither rather than rip them away.
If your Tampa Palms chimney has growth on it, tell us before the visit. We plan its removal as part of the joint work so the mortar underneath can be assessed and repaired.
