4 reasons why you shouldn't delay re-pointing your stonework
Updated: Nov 17, 2019
You know your stonework is in need of some attention, when bits of mortar start breaking off, stone starts becoming loose, or you notice water seeping through (the easiest way to spot this is damp or wet stone).
Re-pointing may not seem that urgent or necessary, especially if it's only a small section of a larger area of stonework that needs repair, or is hidden from view, but there are good reasons why it's best dealt with sooner than later.
Instant makeover
Re-pointing can give your property a new lease of life, freshen up old stonework and restore its beauty, taking it back to the day it was first built. By removing the old mortar joints and replacing it with new mortar, it removes ugly gaps and revitalises the stone.
Preservation
It's not purely for aesthetics, a well executed re-pointing job can also stop erosion to the stone and its foundations, and prevent dampness which can otherwise lead to larger problems such as rotting timber joists and floorboards or mold in your home.
It lasts a life-time
Re-pointing when done correctly should only be needed once every 50-100 years, depending on the environment and surrounding conditions. So you should only need to get it done once.
Saves you money in future
Re-pointing can help prevent further damage to your stonework which if left unattended may increase the costs. A bit like an insurance policy against further damage.
If you want to extend the life of your stonework, then re-pointing will do that and more.

My comparisons of gaming websites often begin with a practical question: can visitors understand the game selection without having to open dozens of individual pages? I would include Playamo in such research, with particular attention to the way its catalogue is arranged and how different gaming formats are described. A large number of titles alone is not particularly helpful when they are hard to locate or important information is missing. The points I would investigate at https://playamo.how/ are its game categories, provider details and the usefulness of whatever browsing filters may be available. I also want to see how plainly the relevant rules and potential expenses are set out before participation. Clear presentation may simplify browsing, although the conditions attached…
