Fixing crumbling mortar before it turns into a total rebuild! 🧱🔧
When water gets into mortar joints, freeze-thaw cycles cause them to crack and loosen up the surrounding brick and capstones.
Here’s how we fixed it:
1. Grinding & Chiseled Out: Raked out all the deteriorated, cracked mortar down to a solid surface.
2. Reset & Level: Re-bonded loose bricks and reset the heavy limestone capstones.
3. Tuckpointed: Packed fresh, high-strength mortar tightly into the joints and struck them clean to seal out water.
Catching mortar failure early saves you from costly rebuilds down the road!
