Common Brick Pointing Problems Found in the Bronx Properties
NYC buildings experience conditions that can gradually wear down masonry. Bronx has thousands of residential and commercial properties where mortar joints have been exposed to years of weather and environmental conditions. Brick pointing should be considered when property owners in the Bronx notice the following issues:
- Mortar falling from the wall: Deteriorated mortar is breaking away from the masonry joints.
- Cracks running through mortar: Visible cracks may indicate weakened or deteriorating mortar joints.
- Gaps between bricks: Recessed mortar can leave open spaces between individual bricks.
- Powdery mortar: Crumbling mortar can signal significant joint deterioration.
- Water penetration: Deteriorated joints may allow moisture to enter through the masonry wall.
Early masonry inspection helps identify the severity of repointing projects. It allows you to understand the condition before deciding what work is justified.
