TUCKPOINTING
Evanston, Il Tuckpointing Description

Tuckpointing is a brick and mortar maintenance and repair procedure where bricks, stones, mortar, and concrete are grinded to remove any dirt, debris, and excess mortar create space for the installation of new mortar or cement.

Evanston, Il 60201 60202 – Tuckpointing – Before
This is an Evanston tuckpointing project that we completed on the side wall of a house. This brick wall had been well built however over several decades the mortar holding together these bricks had started to crack and erode from daily wear and tear, wind and water weathering, as well as structural settling of the house on its foundation. This not only affected the appearance but also the structural integrity of this wall causing cracks, holes, leaks, drafts, and indoor temperature loss and a tuckpointing project was necessary to repair these issues. Tuckpointing was the best option in this situation because while the general brickwork on this wall was fine the mortar definitely needed to be grinded down and replaced in order to properly repair and seal up all of the cracks on this area of this Evanston home.

This is the same wall from this Evanston home that we showed above after all of our tuckpointing work has been completed. We can see that all of the old and cracked mortar and debris has been removed and that completely new mortar has been installed. The generous amount of mortar that we applied during our tuckpointing procedure sealed up any leaks, cracks, holes, or drafts that might have existed on this wall and the new mortar also increased the structural bonding between the bricks to improve the strength and cohesion of these bricks. The new mortar that we installed during the tuckpointing has been smoothed, shaped, and evenly applied and we can see that not only has it improved the integrity of this Evanston home but it has also given it a fresh, clean, and consistent new look.

This is a tuckpointing project that we completed around this entire Evanston, Il home. This is a large, great looking, well built traditionally styled brick home that has been well maintained by its owners however years of weathering and natural structural settling have created cracks, holes, and depletions in the bricks and mortar which have been causing leaks and drafts. Tuckpointing this Evanston, Il home will fix up all of these rough patches that we can see in the photograph above. As with all of our tuckpointing projects we will first grind down the existing mortar and debris to fully expose the underlying bricks and material and will then generously apply and shape new mortar to brick the brickwork on this home back up to its best possible condition.

This is a close-up of this Evanston, Il home which show the tuckpointing that we have completed and are in the process of finishing. All of the rough brick patches that we could see in the photo above have been grinded down and a generous layer of new mortar has been applied in these joint lines during the tuckpointing process. We can see the difference between the bricks that have gone through the tuckpointing already and those that haven’t. The bricks that have not had tuckpointing are along the bottom and sides of the house and still have uneven and cracked mortar and edges. The areas which have been tuckpointed have a smooth and consistent look that is devoid of holes and cracks. The tuckpointing work that we completed on this Evanston, Il home not only looks great but it has also immensely strengthened the structural integrity and material bonding on this wall.
