WHY BRICK REPOINTING?

HERE ARE OUR TOP 4 REASONS:

Sydney homes that have accumulated damage over the years can prove to be a very costly oversight. Damaged or fretting mortar can lead to excess moisture buildup behind the wall which can cause damage inside your home such as damp and mould, as well as access for pests. It can cause the wall ties to rust and break, which can lead to a total collapse of the wall entirely.

It can be incredibly dangerous to leave unchecked damage in your mortar and brickwork. This can easily turn a smaller brick repair into a much larger and costly issue that destroys much of your property.

In addition to preserving and restoring structural integrity, repointing masonry is great for not only the aesthetics of your home but also the value of your home. Damages to brickwork can be an eyesore that causes the value of a property to decrease over time.

Repointing the mortar can help to maintain and even increase the value of the property substantially. Having freshly repointed brick walls and masonry work not only makes the structure look brand new, it will also improve the overall value of any property-whether it be residential or commercial.
