Importance of Properly Waterproofing your Basement

If you’re lucky enough to have a basement in your home, it may in fact be one of your favorite and most functional areas of your home. It can be used to store household items, add precious living space, or perhaps serve as a playroom or game room for the children in your life.  Because your basement is so close to the ground, it is also very vulnerable to water damage, leaks, mildew and mold.  Waterproofing your basement can protect it and prevent water and moisture from entering your home and causing damage.  Brickworks Property Restoration specializes in professional waterproofing of your home or building’s basement so you can be confident that your basement will be functional, safe and dry for many years to come.

Drainage on your property is also a very important part of waterproofing your home. Effective below ground waterproofing includes both drainage and sealers, which prevents moisture from entering your basement from underneath or below your home.  This process will also preserve and protect your home’s foundation and structural integrity. Over time, waterproofing can prevent major structural issues including sloping floors, bowing walls, and doors and windows that cannot close properly that are extremely costly and even dangerous.

What Is Tuckpointing?


While the bricks on your chimney can last as long as a century, the mortar that is used to connect the bricks has a much shorter lifespan.  Tuckpointing is a repair technique that can be used to strengthen and repair the mortar that deteriorates over time in order to prevent your chimney from being compromised, or even worse, collapsing.  Brickworks Property Restoration can complete necessary chimney repair on your home - our tuckpointing services will extend the life of your mortar so that you can be confident that your chimney will be strong for many years to come. Tuckpointing can extend the life of your chimney system in a variety of different ways.

Benefits of Tuckpointing

Brickworks Property Restoration can complete all types of tuckpointing.  Whether you simply need cracks and holes filled in your mortar, or if you need us to grind out existing mortar and refill it, we can help.  The benefits of periodic tuckpointing of your chimney include:

  • Increasing the value of your home
  • Restoring your home’s natural beauty
  • Preventing additional mortar damage
  • Protecting your home against storm and other weather damage
  • Reducing risk of moisture penetrating and getting inside your chimney system
  • Preserving and restoring the integrity of chimney and old brickwork
  • Tuckpointing is less expensive than a complete chimney rebuild
