Our mortar repair services restore the stability and strength of your masonry. We carefully repair any deteriorated mortar, ensuring the structure remains secure and sound. With our attention to detail, we bring your masonry back to its original strength and appearance.
Different types of mortar repairs address various issues related to the aging or damage of masonry. Depending on the condition of your mortar and the extent of the damage, certain repair methods may be more effective. Below are the common types of mortar repairs we provide:
Repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar and replacing it with new mortar to restore the strength of the masonry joints. This repair is essential when the mortar between bricks or stones has cracked or eroded over time. Repointing ensures a secure and weather-resistant seal for your masonry.
When mortar is too damaged to repair, a complete mortar replacement is necessary. This process involves removing all the old mortar and applying fresh mortar to maintain the stability and appearance of your masonry. Mortar replacement is particularly important for structures showing significant wear or structural issues.
Crack repair is used when small cracks appear in the mortar, allowing water to penetrate. We fill the cracks with durable mortar that matches the existing material, sealing gaps to prevent further damage. This repair is an effective solution for minor damage, ensuring the continued strength of your masonry.
Mortar repairs are crucial for maintaining the integrity of your structure, but several issues can arise during the process. Identifying these challenges early can prevent further damage and ensure a longer-lasting repair. Below are some of the most common issues faced during mortar repairs and the best ways to address them.
Using the wrong type of mortar mix can lead to weak joints that don't bond properly with the masonry. This can result in cracked, crumbling, or loose mortar, which compromises the overall strength of your structure. It’s important to match the mortar mix to the materials you're repairing to ensure it cures correctly and provides a solid bond. Using the proper ratio of sand, lime, and cement is essential to get the right consistency and durability.
Before applying new mortar, the surface must be cleaned and prepped properly. If old mortar, dirt, or debris is left on the surface, the new mortar will not bond effectively. This can lead to issues like water infiltration, weakening the structure over time. Proper cleaning and preparation of the joints are necessary to ensure that the new mortar adheres well and provides long-lasting results.
Applying mortar unevenly or in thick layers can cause the joints to dry improperly, leading to cracks and gaps. If mortar is applied too quickly or without proper technique, it may not settle or bond correctly. Skilled professionals must carefully apply the mortar in consistent, even layers and allow adequate drying time to avoid problems such as shrinkage, cracking, or moisture penetration.
