When it comes to working with bricks, you may think that you have it all down to a science. Many homeowners make the big mistake of going with a "DIY" process, and it's not at all the same as a professional. The experience needed to work with this type of project is grand, especially if you want to build intricate design, and perhaps even structures that will withstand the elements. There are a lot of people that assume the process is just about mortar and brick laying, but it's not. If you're going to pursue this methodology, first, consider searching for Chicago tuckpointing, and see what it takes to get this done right.
Among all the building materials brick and stone are the most durable and long lasting. A well built masonry building can last decades with little to no maintenance. However the early warning signs can easily be overlooked which ends up in costly repairs. It is extremely important to have your house inspected by a professional every few years. Early detection will prevent these elements going awry and integrity of your home to drop. When it comes to masonry maintenance get professional assistance and trusted company that can get the work done right the first time.
Masonry is so long lasting and durable that some building owners think of it as maintenance free. However, masonry like the other parts of the building, requires inspections, maintenance and repairs in order to provide long lasting service. Damaged, broken or spaled units like brick, block and stone should be replaced. Deteriorated mortar should be repaired and replaced by tuck-pointing to stop water from penetrating into the interior of the walls. Mortar should be matched and duplicated to it's original proportions.
