Brick and Mortar Repairs
Brick walls and fixtures are a beautiful addition to any home and make businesses more inviting, but maintaining their aesthetic value isn’t as easy as it might seem. When the mortar in your bricks starts to crack, recede and fall out of the joints, it means that you need to chisel out the existing mortar and trowel in the new. This is a process known as repointing.
This might seem like a simple enough job, but it requires an incredible level of attention to detail, the right tools and the right materials to avoid damaging the brick and permanently compromising the integrity and appearance of the wall.
Rather than risk doing more damage to your walls or other brickwork by taking these matters into your own hands, trust Zaps Masonry Contracting. I know the materials, tools and best practices to apply them like the backs of my hands.
Chimney Repairs
Some of the most common repair jobs I am contacted about are chimney repairs. Masonry chimneys require periodic maintenance to repair cracks in the crown area and deteriorated mortar joints, especially with the sections above the roof. Because your home or business’s chimney is exposed to the elements, and often can have water running down the insides, it is more likely to degrade faster than other bricks you have on your property.
By letting me conduct the necessary repointing as well as provide you with any weatherproofing expansions to keep water from degrading the chimney, you can preserve the integrity of your home or business’s chimney for many years to come.
Repointing Services
Mortar is the glue that holds bricks or stones together. Over time and exposure to the elements, mortar will eventually crumble or fall out. Without a strong hold, your bricks are subject to crumbling or loosening. Once that starts to happen, it’s not just an eyesore, it could cause structural issues. Luckily, Zaps Masonry Contracting has the ability to replace the mortar through repointing.

When your building’s mortar has started to wear down or there are large chunks of it missing altogether, I will chisel out what’s left of the existing mortar. Then, once the old mortar has been removed, I will add a new mixture of mortar to reinforce the brick or stone.
When done poorly, mortar can spread all over the brick or stone, detracting from all the aesthetic value your structure once had. It is also an incredibly labour intensive process that is typically best left to a professional. Unless you have experience working with mortar, I can’t recommend trying this yourself as it can do more damage if you don’t know exactly what you are doing.
Thanks to my extensive experience repointing brick and stone for residential and commercial properties around the North Bay area, I am confident that I can get your mortar replaced and repaired in practically no time at all.
