How our crew repoints a chimney in Randal Park
What our pros look at, and why, on tuckpointing jobs around Randal Park.
Cracks that suggest movement
A crack that runs in a line through several courses, cutting across bricks as well as joints, points to movement in the masonry. Preservation Brief 2 lists differential settlement among the causes that should be dealt with before repointing.
Our specialists trace any such crack on your Randal Park chimney from end to end. If it reflects movement, filling it with fresh mortar is only cosmetic, and we explain what further assessment or repair is needed before joint work would last. Sometimes a crack is old and stable, and we say so when the evidence shows it.
When a grinder is used at all
A grinder has a place in some repointing work. Preservation Brief 2 notes that, in the hands of a skilled mason, a thin diamond blade can help cut out wide horizontal joints of hard mortar, with the final removal done by hand.
If the bed joints on your Randal Park chimney are wide and hard enough to justify it, our masons may use a grinder along the middle of the joint only, then finish with a chisel. The first section of work shows whether the method is safe for your brick before the rest proceeds.
Repointing is a craft of its own
Technical Note 46 makes an observation worth repeating. Repointing belongs in the hands of craftspeople experienced in that particular work, and even a very good mason may not be the right person for it. The skills of careful raking, packing and tooling are specific.
Our crew in Randal Park does this work regularly, and the methods described on this page are the ones we use every day. Ask us how we handle head joints, depth and tooling, and you will get a direct answer. We would rather show you our method than ask you to take it on trust.
