Repointing / Tuckpointing

Mortar joints between masonry units (i.e. brick, block, stone, or terra cotta) can deteriorate over time, becoming weak and vulnerable to excessive moisture penetration. Repointing, also referred to as tuckpointing, is the process of removing the deteriorated mortar and replacing it with fresh, compatible mortar, thereby increasing a structure’s longevity.
