Failed mortar joints in South End West Palm Beach
The South End runs along the Intracoastal at Flagler Drive, so its 1920s-1950s ranch and Mediterranean homes face brackish salt-air exposure off the lagoon that accelerates rusting of chimney caps and dampers and erosion of mortar joints.
South End West Palm Beach — SoSo (South of Southern); the Lake Worth Lagoon; Prospect Park-Southland Park Historic District.
Tuckpointing here is joint removal and replacement on sound brick or block around SoSo (South of Southern). After the SoSo (South of Southern) visit, the written scope lists the failed part on that lot, the materials, and what is excluded.
Near-coastal streets around the Lake Worth Lagoon can see more metal wear than lots farther west; the proposal still names the part at that address rather than a city-wide alloy. Receded mortar is not automatically a rebuild. County masonry notes stay on chimney tuckpointing. Unsound masonry uses South End West Palm Beach chimney rebuild. A stain without named joint failure uses South End West Palm Beach leak repair.
