More than an aesthetic aspect, exterior masonry is durable provided it is properly maintained.
La dégradation visuelle des parements est souvent perfectible par l’états des joints. Les joints ont plusieurs rôles et leurs dégradations peut entrainer des défaillantes majeures visibles et non visibles à l’intégrité structurelle du parement et du bâtiment.
De plus une dégradation non homogène des joints peut s’expliquer par d’autres problèmes du bâtiment. Des gouttières défectueuses ou installées de façon inadéquate est un bon exemple.
If repairs to the mortar joints are not made within a reasonable time, potentially expensive repairs may be required, as well as a devaluation of the building.
To be sustainable, repointing must be done by a professional who understands well the nature of the work required, as well as the methodology to be used.
