When a Building Needs Tuckpointing Contractors in Chicago

Stone and brick are two of the most common materials used on buildings in Chicago.  One thing they have in common is mortar joints. And when there are cracks or gaps in the mortar joints, there is a risk of water damage to the building. The process of repairing these joints is often referred to as tuckpointing or repointing.   


As a building owner or manager, if you have noticed damaged mortar, the best thing you can do is act quickly to reduce your risk of additional damage. Typically, when you see a couple of failed joints, there will usually be more. RestoreWorks' tuckpointing contractors in Chicago have the experience to identify and repair damaged mortar to restore watertight integrity in your building.

A RestoreWorks team member installs mortar while tuckpointing brick on a church bell tower. After installing the mortar, the joint will be tooled to match the depth and profile of existing joints. These are important steps in creating a quality result that blends in with the existing mortar. 

Our Chicago Tuckpointing Contractors Can Easily Identify Visible Signs of Mortar Failure

These are just a few examples of visible signs of mortar failure.  It's easy to spot these when they are at eye level, but much harder to recognize when they occur much higher on a building. In these cases you may first notice signs of water damage inside the building. 


The tuckpointing pros at RestoreWorks can inspect your building, identify problematic joints and provide you with recommendations to repair the damage.
