Repointing and pointing brick or stone is the process of renewing the damaged mortar between the joints of brick or stone walls.
Over time weathering and decay cause voids in the joints allowing
the entrance of water in the structure. Aside from helping to hold up your house, pointing protects against water ingress and helps prevent heat loss though the walls.
After rain, water can freeze in the wall, expanding and causing damage. Soon after, if the deteriorating mortar isn't repaired, it could eventually cause the wall or structure to collapse. If your home's stone or brick structure has begin to deteriorate,
shift, or just doesn't look good, then you may be in need of pointing services.
