Precision Repointing to Refresh Masonry Surfaces
Repointing helps prevent water penetration, which can lead to internal damage and structural weakening over time.
Cracked or crumbling mortar, efflorescence, and loose bricks are indicators that repointing may be necessary.
Methods include traditional hand tooling and modern mortar injection, tailored to the specific masonry type.
Repointing typically involves matching mortar composition and color to the original for seamless restoration.
