The Three Little Pigs had the right idea. Brick houses are known for their resistance to the elements, even wolf produced elements. Unfortunately, over time the mortar between the masonry units can begin to degrade. The unsound mortar, if not fixed, will allow water to soak in between the bricks, leading to cracking and swelling. So how do you keep your brick or stone house wolf-proof? Easy, brick repointing.
Brick or stone repointing is a masonry restoration process that repairs the mortar between building material back to it’s original condition. Houses throughout Drexel Hill require repointing or pointing to reestablish the integrity of their structure. Repairing the cracks between the stone will prevent moisture from causing any further damage.
