Brick Repointing in Plano, TX

When it comes to repairing brick houses, repointing is often an important step. Repointing is the process of renewing or recessing mortar joints between bricks in a wall or roof. Over time, these mortar joints can deteriorate and cause leaks, water damage, and even structural failure. If you notice any of the following signs that your brick house might need repointing, be sure to call a professional:
​

• Water seeping through cracks around windows and doors
• Moisture accumulation on the upper walls near windows and doors
• Cracks in mortar along seams between bricks
• Large gaps or voids in brick walls or ceilings

Masonry companies offer a variety of repointing options to meet your specific needs. Replacing mortar is one repointing option we offer.

Another option is repaired joints, meaning filling in or replacing the deteriorated mortar with a new, stronger mixture that will maintain the structural integrity of your brick wall or roof. This can be done using traditional methods such as chiseling or grouting, or by using more advanced techniques such as thermal-bonding and injection bonding.

A third repointing option is full brick replacement. Replacing bricks means restoring the original appearance of your brick wall by replacing damaged or missing bricks. This can be done with commercially available replastering products, or by repairing and repainting the entire wall.
