Casey Tuckpointing can also perform this ancient function and it is quite efficient a repair method. It is usually not in high demand due to its exorbitant cost and long period of time spent carrying the process out.
Wearing off of the terra cotta material causes the breakdown of all structural systems. The material used might include stone, fiberglass, glass fiber reinforced concrete and concrete that is precast.
Deterioration of the structural components that hold the terra in place is usually very difficult to spot. They result in fabrication defects which arise due to expansion and contraction and penetration of water. To manage the effects of terra cotta deterioration effectively, Casey Tuckpointing incorporates the following techniques which improve structural stabilization: repointing of terra cotta, glaze spalling repair, major and minor spalling repair and finally, the repair of structural damage.
