Brick Tuckpointing for Homeowners in Countryside, IL
Brick surfaces are exposed to temperature changes, rain, and humidity, all of which gradually wear down mortar joints. At Kerry Tuckpointing, we start every tuckpointing project with a thorough inspection to determine where mortar has weakened or failed. Our team carefully removes damaged mortar and replaces it with new material built for strength and longevity. Proper tuckpointing not only restores stability but also improves durability and helps your brick maintain its appearance.
TUCKPOINTING FAQS
Why does mortar fail before brick?
Mortar is designed to be softer than brick so it can absorb movement and moisture. Over time, weather exposure causes mortar to erode first, protecting the brick itself. By repairing your mortar promptly, you can help increase the lifespan of your brick.
Is tuckpointing cosmetic?
Tuckpointing does help with the cosmetic appearance of your structure, but it also restores structural integrity by stabilizing brick and preventing water intrusion.
How often should mortar be inspected?
Most masonry should be inspected every few years. Early detection of mortar wear allows for smaller repairs instead of spreading damage that leads to the need for full restoration.
Will the new mortar match my existing masonry?
Yes, professional tuckpointing includes careful color matching, so repairs blend seamlessly with the surrounding brickwork.
