Signs You Need Tuckpointing
Mortar damage is easy to miss until it becomes a bigger problem. These are the signs that your Alsip property needs tuckpointing:
- Mortar joints that are visibly recessed, cracked, or soft to the touch
- Efflorescence, the white chalky staining that appears when water is moving through brick
- Spalling brick, where the face is flaking or breaking away
- Interior damp spots on walls that back up to exterior brick
- Gaps forming between the brick and surrounding mortar
If you are seeing any of these signs, the sooner you act, the less it will cost you.
Why Alsip Homes Need Tuckpointing
Alsip is home to a lot of solid, older brick construction, and that brick deserves to be maintained properly. The Chicago area's freeze-thaw cycle is relentless. Moisture finds its way into hairline cracks in mortar, freezes and expands, and over several seasons, those small cracks become open joints. Tuckpointing cuts out the failed mortar and replaces it with a fresh, properly bonded mix that seals the wall against water and restores its strength. Kerry Tuckpointing matches mortar color as closely as possible to your existing brick so the finished result looks clean and consistent.
