Why Is Commercial Tuckpointing Important?
There are many reasons why commercial tuckpointing is important. First, it can help to prevent water damage.
When mortar joints are cracked or deteriorating, water can seep into the brickwork and cause problems like mold growth or structural instability.
Tuckpointing helps to seal up these cracks and prevent water from getting in.
Second, tuckpointing can improve the appearance of a building. Cracked or crumbling mortar can make a commercial property look old and rundown.
Tuckpointing can neaten the joints and give the brickwork a clean look. Third, tuckpointing can improve the overall strength of a building.
When mortar deteriorates and crumbles, it leaves gaps where water can enter. Once inside, the water can cause further damage and weaken the walls.
