After exterior walls have been structurally stabilized with
steel pier pilings, Foundation Pro technicians repair masonry settlement cracks
on the home in areas where we have worked. This service is called
tuck-and-point and provided at no additional cost. With mortar and coloring
agents, we seal exterior cracks in mortar joints, bricks and cinder blocks.
This provides for the best cosmetic aesthetics and to seal the wall against
water damage or pest infestation.
The goal of tuck-and-point is to match the original masonry
of the home as closely as possible. This step often demands an artistic touch because
tint and texture of masonry colors have a tendency to show changes over time
due to curing effects and environmental factors. In many cases after our work
it is difficult to tell the exact location of the repaired settlement cracks.
Although we promise our best we cannot guarantee a 100% perfect color match on
every job due to curing time of new mortar versus the original.
We also can provide specialty mortar mixture and brands upon
request.
