You don’t need to be an American historian to understand that Chadds Ford is a historic town. Yes, the Battle of Brandywine was fought on these grounds nearly 250 years ago, but just look at the bounty of brick and stone houses and you can tell this is a historic place. These houses have endured the wear and tear of countless changing of the seasons. Repointing, or pointing, is one of the few repairs Chadds Ford’s brick and stone houses require to maintain their structural stability.
Repointing is a masonry repair that improves the health and longevity of houses mortar, or joints. Mortar is the material that holds each brick or stone in place. Over time, house’s joints will begin to weaken, eventually leading to crumbling and cracking. Water, ice, and snow now have a place to seep through. If left untreated the masonry units will begin to crack and swell, which degrades the solidarity of the house.
