Why Is Tuckpointing Important?
Tuckpointing is important because it helps to keep water from seeping into cracks in buildings. Just like we use caulk to seal up cracks in our homes, tuckpointing helps to seal up cracks in buildings. Imagine if there were cracks in your house and water seeping in. Over time, that water could cause damage to your house. Tuckpointing is a way to prevent that from happening.
Tuckpointing and masonry services can help improve your home’s appearance while also providing some added protection.
The process involves removing the old, damaged mortar from between your bricks and replacing it with new mortar. This can help to prevent water damage and other issues that can occur when mortar is in poor condition.
6 Signs You Need to Hire a Tuckpointing Contractor
There are a few key signs that indicate it may be time to hire a professional tuckpointing contractor. If you notice any cracks or crumbling in the mortar of your brick home or building, it’s important to have a contractor come take a look. Another sign is if you see any water damage around the area where the bricks meet. This can be a sign of structural damage and should be addressed as soon as possible.
- Stained or Missing Mortar
- Crumbling or Spalling Bricks
- Gaps Between Bricks
