Tuckpointing details that matter for Paradise Heights homes
Plain talk about mortar from the crew that does the pointing in Paradise Heights.
Voids and holes in the joints
Small holes, gaps and hollows in mortar joints are easy to overlook from the ground, yet each one is a doorway for water. Voids can come from the original work, from mortar that has washed out or from insects and plants working into soft spots.
Mortar with voids is one of the conditions industry guidance names for repointing. On your Paradise Heights chimney, our pros note where the voids cluster and whether they sit in otherwise sound joints or in mortar that is failing all around them, since that decides how deep the repair has to go.
Very soft, lime-rich mortars
At the soft end of the range, Technical Note 46 describes Type K as the weakest mortar and generally reserved for historic masonry, and Preservation Brief 2 discusses lime and sand mixes for the softest brick.
Most chimneys we repoint in Paradise Heights do not need mortar that soft. If yours shows very soft, old brick and lime mortar, we tell you so at the inspection and explain what matching it would involve, including whether the job needs a specialist approach beyond routine tuckpointing. The estimate states which approach we recommend and why.
A clean site when the crew leaves
Repointing produces dust, crumbs of old mortar and splashes of new. All of it should be gone when the job is done, from the roof, the gutters and the ground below.
Our crew sweeps the roof around your Paradise Heights chimney, clears the gutters of mortar debris, cleans walkways and removes all waste. Brick faces are brushed clean as the work goes, so the chimney looks finished, not freshly smeared. If anything is missed, tell us at the walk-through and it is dealt with before we leave.

Repointing answers for Paradise Heights homeowners
If your question is not here, call our Paradise Heights crew and ask.
Will tuckpointing stop my chimney from leaking?
If open joints are the leak path, yes, repointing closes it. Leaks also come from the crown, cap and flashing, so we check those too and list any that need repair.
Can I use the fireplace while you work?
Please keep it off while the crew is working at the chimney. Exterior repointing rarely keeps a fireplace out of use for long, and we tell you when it can be used again.
