Brick Pointing
Masonry repairs that stop leaks before they start
Masonry and Roofline Work
Brick pointing often ties directly into chimney and roofline water management, so these images show the broader detail work we care about.
Why Brick Pointing is Critical for Utah Roofs
"If your mortar is crumbly, water soaks into the brick like a sponge."
Brick pointing is the process of carving out old, failing mortar and replacing it with fresh material. In Utah, this is usually the number one cause of "mystery leaks" around chimneys.
Utah's climate is uniquely aggressive toward masonry due to freeze-thaw cycles. We grind out the old mortar to a consistent depth and use a matching mortar strength to ensure a real, long-lasting bond.
