Tuckpointing is the process of repairing masonry by filling the joints with new mortar. Below you can read about how tuckpointing can benefit you and your building:
Protection From the Elements
One of the most important benefits of tuckpointing is preventing water from seeping through the mortar, and stopping the deterioration of your brick. Moisture in your brickwork will cause mold, mildew, and rot. In addition, it can also lead to damaged ceilings and stained walls. At first, you will notice minor cracks and holes, but these will develop into brick movement and brick collapse if not addressed properly. Hiring professional tuckpointing contractors will help you protect your masonry from harsh weather and other elements.
Increased Curb Appeal
Beautiful things are nice. Make your looking tired brickworks look brand new again with the help of our tuckpointing contractors. We will help you change the colors of your existing mortar between joints to personalize your home.
More Insulation
Tuckpointing jobs from professionals will give you additional insulation factors against the intrusion of unwanted growth, pests, bugs, animals, and more. A small hole in your mortar joint is enough for a maple tree to germinate, for a colony of ants to find a new home, or even for birds, mice, bats, rats, chipmunks, or squirrels to live.
Strengthen the Structure
Tuckpointing adds integrity to your masonry wall. A fresh mortar to replace those deteriorated joints will offer preventative maintenance that will prevent deterioration and cause damage to your structures.
Increase the Value of Your Property
One of the best ways to add value to your home is by restoring your home structure. Having a beautiful and completely restored brick at home will be worth more than having a home that needs a lot of repairs. Enhancing your curb appeal and offering a strong and restored exterior will be a major selling point in dealing with real estate values.
Before the winter comes, make sure to have your brickworks checked by professional masonry and tuckpointing contractors.
