Repointing is an essential process for maintaining the durability of masonry structures, including fieldstone foundations, brick walls, and chimneys. By replacing deteriorated mortar, we restore your structure’s strength and appearance while protecting it from further damage.
What Is Repointing, and Why Is It Important?
Repointing involves removing and replacing damaged or eroded mortar joints between stones or bricks. Over time, exposure to moisture, temperature changes, and natural aging can cause mortar to weaken, leading to structural vulnerabilities and aesthetic deterioration.
Why Repointing Matters
- Structural Integrity: Cracked or missing mortar compromises the stability of your foundation or wall.
- Moisture Protection: Gaps in mortar allow water to seep in, causing damage and potential mold growth.
- Preserving Appearance: Repointing restores the original beauty of your masonry, maintaining your property’s charm and curb appeal.
If your mortar is crumbling, discolored, or missing altogether, it’s time to call the experts at Done Right Services.
Our Comprehensive Repointing Process
At Done Right Services, we take a meticulous approach to repointing, ensuring every detail is handled with care and precision. Here’s how we do it:
Inspection and Assessment
We begin by thoroughly inspecting your structure to identify areas of concern. Our team assesses the extent of mortar damage and develops a tailored plan to address your specific needs.
Removal of Damaged Mortar
Using specialized tools, we carefully remove deteriorated mortar without damaging the surrounding stones or bricks. This step is critical for achieving a clean and stable surface for new mortar.
Application of New Mortar
We use high-quality lime mortar, which is ideal for fieldstone foundations and historic masonry. Lime mortar is flexible, breathable, and compatible with traditional materials, ensuring long-lasting results.
Finishing Touches
Once the new mortar is applied and smoothed, we allow it to cure properly. Our team ensures the finished joints match the original style and color, blending seamlessly with your structure.
