Brick Tuckpointing Services in Central Illinois
Restore and Protect Your Brickwork with Expert Tuckpointing
Brick structures are renowned for their durability and timeless appeal. However, over time, mortar joints can deteriorate due to weathering, moisture infiltration, and age. Brick tuckpointing is a specialized process that restores the integrity and appearance of your masonry by removing damaged mortar and replacing it with fresh, matching material. This not only enhances the visual appeal of your property but also prevents further structural damage.
Signs Your Property May Need Brick Tuckpointing
-
Cracked or Crumbling Mortar: Visible fractures or disintegration in the mortar joints.
-
Discoloration: Mortar that has darkened or shows signs of staining.
-
Gaps Between Bricks: Spaces where mortar has fallen out or eroded.
-
Water Damage Indicators: Interior signs such as damp walls or efflorescence on brick surfaces.
Our Brick Tuckpointing Process
At Force Masonry Construction, we follow a meticulous tuckpointing procedure to ensure lasting results:

Assessment: A thorough evaluation of the existing mortar and brickwork to determine the extent of deterioration.
-
Mortar Removal: Careful grinding or chiseling out of the damaged mortar to a uniform depth, typically about an inch, to prepare for new application.
-
Cleaning: Clearing out debris and dust from the joints to ensure proper adhesion of the new mortar.
-
Mortar Matching: Mixing new mortar to closely match the original in color, composition, and texture, preserving the historical or aesthetic integrity of the structure.
