Brick Repointing: What to Know Before You Hire
Mortar joints are meant to wear out before the brick does, but once they start crumbling, water gets behind the brick face and the damage moves from cosmetic to structural fast, especially through a GTA winter.
Professionals typically match the mortar mix and joint profile to your home's age, since repointing a century home with the wrong mortar can actually cause more damage than it fixes.
What This Work Typically Includes
- Assessment of joint condition and brick age
- Careful removal of failing mortar
- Mortar mix matched to your home's original
- Repointing and finish tooling
