METRO TUCKPOINTING UNIQUE PROCESS
Although we tend to price projects on a case by case basis, this is a guide to the services we offer to our clients.
While bricks last about a century, mortar has a much shorter lifespan. Depending on how exposed the masonry is to excess water and other harsh conditions, mortar lasts about 25 years. When mortar joints become damaged, the most cost-effective action that a homeowner can take is to repair affected areas via tuckpointing. The alternative is to allow the mortar joints to deteriorate to the point that the brick system collapses, which makes a complete rebuild necessary–of course, the cost of a rebuild is far greater than the cost for repairs.
- Grounding out the old mortar at a uniform depth.
- Filling in with the necessary color mortar in the new joints.
- Striking the mortar when it reaches thumb print hard to give it a groove.
Tuckpointing is really a crucial procedure, to preserve the life of a masonry structure. Some of the benefits of performing needed tuck pointing on structures follow:
- Corrosion of the mortar joints is stopped.
- Structural stability of the chimney is restored. Failing to repair mortar joints will result in a weak structure which will eventually begin to lean or collapse.
- Metro Tuckpointing will help to prevent water from entering into mortar system. If the mortar joints are not repaired, water will seep down the structure. Moisture can do a serious amount of unseen damage, such as cause mold, mildew, and rotting wood. Moisture can also cause the ceiling and wallpaper around the structure to become stained.
- Tuckpointing is far more cost-effective than a complete tear-down and rebuild. The procedure allows you to avoid the expense of completely replacing the structure.
The value of your home is improved when the masonry is in tip top shape.
