Brick Pointing & Masonry Joint Sealing



Detailed Description
Over time, mortar joints can crack or erode, allowing water to seep in and weaken the structure. With our Brick Pointing & Masonry Joint Sealing service, we carefully remove deteriorated mortar, clean the joints, and apply new, color-matched material. This process not only restores the visual appeal of your Toronto & GTA home but also provides essential protection against moisture damage and freeze-thaw cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pointing and tuckpointing?
Pointing is the general repair of mortar joints. Tuckpointing is a specific aesthetic style that uses two colors of mortar (one matching the brick, one a thin line) to create the illusion of perfectly straight, fine joints. We offer both services depending on your needs.
Why is my mortar falling out?
This is usually due to Toronto's freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters tiny cracks, freezes, and expands, popping the mortar out. Our sealing process stops this water intrusion.
Can you match the color of my old mortar?
Yes. We mix custom mortar on-site, using specific sands and dyes to match the weathered look of your existing joints so the repair doesn't look like a patchwork job.
Why is a Technical Visit necessary?
Masonry repair is a chemistry game. Using a modern, hard cement mortar on older, softer bricks will cause the bricks to crack and "spall" (flake off) when the wall expands and contracts. Our Brick Pointing & Masonry Joint Sealing assessment analyzes the original mortar composition and brick hardness to create a custom mix that bonds correctly without damaging your historic masonry.
