How our crew repoints a chimney in Wadeview Park
Each point below affects the joint work we recommend in Wadeview Park and shows up in your written scope.
A uniform depth across the joints
Technical Note 46 describes raking deteriorated mortar to a uniform depth. When some joints are raked deep and others barely touched, the new mortar varies in thickness from joint to joint, which makes an even bond and an even finish harder to achieve.
Our masons work each area of your Wadeview Park chimney to a consistent depth, head joints as well as bed joints. It is slower than chasing only the worst spots, and it is what gives the new joints an even bond and an even look. An even depth also makes the finished joints look consistent from the street.
A seasonal look at the joints
Technical Note 46 recommends periodic inspections of brick masonry, preferably each season, and suggests binoculars for seeing upper areas up close. That habit works well for a chimney.
Once a season, look over your Wadeview Park chimney from the yard. Watch for new cracks along the joints, sand in the gutter, white streaks or plants taking root. If anything has changed, describe it when you call, and we will tell you whether it needs a visit. Catching a problem early usually means a smaller repair.
Scheduling around rain
Fresh mortar should not be washed out before it has set, and joints should not be raked open just before a downpour. Good scheduling protects the work.
Our crew in Wadeview Park watches the forecast and plans raking and filling so open joints are filled the same day wherever possible. If rain arrives unexpectedly, fresh work is covered, and we explain any adjustment to the schedule. A day lost to weather is better than joints washed out before they set, and the crew returns as soon as conditions allow for the next stage.

Tuckpointing questions from Wadeview Park
Deciding on joint work? The inspection in Wadeview 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 Wadeview Park estimate.
What if my chimney is stucco or stone?
Stucco has no exposed joints to repoint, and stone joints need a different approach. We tell you at the inspection and point you to the service that suits your chimney.
