Inside a chimney repointing job in Moss Park
Practical points from our tuckpointing crew serving Moss Park.
Mortar that crumbles under a light scrape
A common way to judge a joint is simple. Look closely, then scrape lightly with a metal tool. Sound mortar resists and leaves a scratch, while failing mortar crumbles or turns to sand. Technical Note 46 describes this visual check and light scraping as the usual first step.
We test joints at several heights and on every face of your Moss Park chimney instead of relying on the one spot you can see from the ground. The pattern of soft and firm joints tells us how much needs repointing and whether any section has gone beyond joint work.
Worn joints near the top of the stack
The joints just below the crown take water from above and from the side, so they are often the first to fail. When the crown is cracked, water reaches them even faster.
On chimneys in Moss Park, our crew checks the top courses closely and looks at the crown at the same time. If the joints there are worn but the bricks are firmly set, repointing is the fix. If the crown is the source, its repair is listed separately so the new joints are not left exposed.

Tuckpointing questions from Moss Park
Deciding on joint work? The inspection in Moss Park is free.
What mortar do you use for repointing?
It depends on the brick and the existing mortar. Industry guidance calls for repointing mortar no stronger than the original, so many modern chimneys get Type N and softer brick gets a weaker mix. The type is named in your Moss Park estimate.
Why not use the strongest mortar available?
Mortar harder than the brick pushes stress into the brick faces and edges, which can chip and spall them. A softer joint takes the wear instead, and it is far easier to renew than a brick.
