Revitalizing Brick Structures with Masonry Excellence

Tuckpointing Overview:

Tuckpointing, also known as repointing, stands as a crucial practice to enhance the water resistance of deteriorated mortar joints in aging brick chimneys. The gradual breakdown of mortar joints, caused by harsh environmental conditions, necessitates repair approximately every 25 years or more.

Mitigating Water Ingress:

Deteriorated and damaged mortar joints act as primary entry points for water into the brickwork. Tuckpointing not only addresses these issues but also provides a lasting solution to permanently reduce water infiltration into the brickwork. Our skilled Chimney Cricket professionals possess the expertise to meticulously remove deteriorated mortar joints from your old brick chimney, replacing them with fresh mortar for enhanced structural integrity.

Adaptable Tuckpointing Solutions:

Tuckpointing is not exclusive to older chimneys; it may be required for new chimneys as well. Instances of insect damage or harsh weather conditions causing holes in mortar joints can lead to the necessity of tuckpointing. In some cases, new chimneys may not have been constructed properly, requiring precise tuckpointing to rectify any issues.
