Inside a chimney repointing job in Airport North
Practical points from our tuckpointing crew serving Airport North.
Vines and plants rooted in the joints
Plants that take root in chimney joints push into soft mortar and hold moisture against it. Technical Note 46 advises cutting vines away from the wall instead of pulling them, since pulling can damage the brickwork, and letting embedded shoots dry before brushing them off.
When plants are growing from your Airport North chimney, our crew cuts them back with care and checks the joints beneath. Mortar disturbed by the roots is raked out and repointed with the rest of the affected area. Where the plants have loosened brick, those units are listed separately.
Loose bricks are a different job
Repointing renews mortar around bricks that are still firmly set. It cannot reattach a brick that already moves in place, and packing new mortar around a loose unit only hides the movement for a while.
When our pros find loose bricks on your Airport North chimney, they are reset or replaced as a separate line in the estimate. If a whole section has lost its bond, we explain that a partial rebuild is the right repair for that area, while the sound remainder can still be repointed.
A clean, square cut at the back of the joint
Preservation Brief 2 says old mortar should be removed cleanly from the brick, leaving square corners at the back of the cut. A ragged or tapered cut leaves the new mortar thin in places and gives it less to hold.
When our crew rakes joints on your Airport North chimney, the goal is a clean slot with square sides and a flat back. That shape lets the new mortar fill the joint fully and bond to both bricks along their whole depth. The shape is checked as the work moves along, not just at the start.
