Foundation Tuckpointing & Repointing in New Hampshire
Stone Master Masonry & Chimney provides foundation tuckpointing and repointing for fieldstone, brick and masonry foundations in Concord and throughout our New Hampshire service area. Deteriorated mortar joints can allow individual masonry units to loosen and can contribute to moisture entry and progressive wall deterioration.
Signs Foundation Mortar Needs Repair
- Loose, missing or powdery mortar joints
- Visible gaps between fieldstone or brick
- Small stones or mortar debris collecting near the wall
- Water or dampness around deteriorated masonry joints
- Previous patching that is loose or failing
- Localized movement in aging masonry foundation walls
Foundation Repointing Process
Foundation repointing typically involves removing loose and deteriorated mortar, cleaning and preparing the joints, and installing compatible masonry mortar to restore the joints. The exact repair approach depends on the foundation material and visible condition of the wall.
Fieldstone & Masonry Foundation Repair
Where deterioration extends beyond the mortar joints, additional fieldstone foundation repair or broader foundation repair may be appropriate. Cracking can also be addressed through our foundation crack repair service.
Moisture & Waterproofing Considerations
If deteriorated foundation masonry is associated with recurring moisture, we can also assess foundation waterproofing, basement waterproofing and drainage options. Repointing and waterproofing address different conditions, so the visible source of deterioration should be evaluated before work is recommended.
