Repointing

Repointing masonry involves the process of thoroughly replacing deteriorated or damaged mortar in brick or stone structures. This restoration technique enhances the structural integrity of the building by preventing water infiltration and preserving overall stability. Repointing also contributes to improved insulation of the structure and restores the visual integrity of the masonry with a crisp, clean brick outline.

Catenary Construction Corp. has the capability to remove mortar and analyze it in a laboratory, allowing us to accurately match aggregates, color, and strength. Additionally, we can assess the alkalinity within the mortar to identify existing or potential future issues.

Our skilled craftsmen excel at delicately removing deteriorated mortar joints, cleaning and preparing joints, and then applying a new mortar mix. This ensures a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. Regular repointing maintenance is crucial in preventing more extensive damage over time.
