Crumbling mortar ground out and replaced, so your walls shed water again.

Mortar is meant to wear out before the brick does. After enough winters it starts letting water in. Repointing replaces the worn outer part of each joint with new mortar. Done on time, it protects the bricks. Left too long, the bricks start to fail and the job gets bigger.

HOW WE FIX IT
How we repoint a wall
1. We grind out the old mortar to a proper depth. We do not just skim over the top.
2. We clean out the joints.
3. We pack in new mortar matched to the wall for colour and strength.
4. We finish the joints to match the originals and clean the brick face.
