  • What are the benefits of repointing?

    • Repointing offers several benefits, one of which is its ability to address leaks. Over time, the mortar between bricks or stone can deteriorate, allowing water to seep through. 
    • By repointing, you're essentially replacing or repairing this mortar, which helps to prevent water infiltration. Sometimes, leaks in a structure can be traced back to deteriorated mortar joints. 
    • Repointing not only improves the structural integrity of the building but also mitigates the risk of water damage and potential leaks, thus enhancing its overall durability and longevity.

  • What are the first signs that your masonry needs repair?

    If you're experiencing water leaks or corrosion within the joints, or noticing a decline in the visual appeal of your structure, repointing can effectively address these issues.

  • How often should I repoint my building?

    Costa Masonry recommends repointing your building every 10 years.
