Tuck Pointing Repair
Tuck pointing does not only refer to brick. It can refer to any kind of masonry or stone work that you may have. As the mortar loses its integrity, it will begin to show you a poor appearance. If you do not have tucked pointing done, the durability of your structure can decline quickly. In some instances, it may be enough to simply patch certain areas. However, it may be necessary to go in and completely tuck point the entire wall.
Moisture Control
Tuck pointing does not only affect the beauty and appearance on the outside of your home. This kind of repair will also ensure that moisture is not trapped behind the wall. Moisture behind a wall can lead to deterioration of electrical services. It can also damage drywall and wooden studs behind drywall. Of course, there is also the risk of mold or mildew growing and the wall and causing the family serious health problems. A professional referred to you by the Home Center of West Michigan can help you to understand these concerns. Call us and we will help you assess the next plan of action.
Tuck Pointing Process
Many people think that it would be a good idea to do tuck pointing themselves. As with many DIY projects, however, the main issue is not having the right tools to get the job done safely. It is critical to understand the safety hazards involved in tuck pointing. Primarily, if you have brick walls that are over a story high, you will need scaffolding to do the job. When you hire a contractor from the Home Center of West Michigan, we can assure you that they will have all the necessary safety equipment and insurances to perform the job.
Tuck Pointing Matrix
There are several factors that can affect the matrix that sticks the stones or brick together. Although many people think all concrete is the same, nothing could be further from the truth. There are many variations that can cause concrete matrixes to perform poorly. It is not only the composition of the mix, it can also be the time of day or the time of year the job was performed.
Concrete that is used in the morning can dry in the sun all day. However, sometimes it rains for a little bit during the drying process. There are many slight variations that mean long-term performance can be affected. For this reason, it is normal to maintain the tuck pointing matrix throughout the life of the wall. Once tuck pointing is done, you can be assured that it will be many years before it is necessary for repairs. It is estimated that a home needs to be tuck pointed once every 20 to 40 years.
