The Purpose of Repointing & Tuckpointing
Bricks can last a century without the need for repair, but the mortar between the bricks can erode much sooner. If cracking and crumbling begin to surface in your brick-and-mortar, contact us. Repointing and Tuckpointing are two techniques applied to replace old, loose, and failing mortar joints with fresh mortar. This new mortar is mixed to match the color of the old material and can be used to fill cracks, gaps, and holes, renewing the strength and appearance.
Repointing and tuckpointing are two techniques applied by professional brick masons to replace old, loose, and failing mortar joints with fresh mortar. This new mortar is mixed to match the color of the old material and can be used to fill cracks, gaps, and holes, ultimately renewing the strength and appearance of brick-made structures. Although the two methods have similar objectives, there are subtle differences between them.
What Is Tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing corrects minor flaws and restores brick structures from normal wear. Over time excess humidity leads to damage. When moisture starts to erode brick and mortar, Tuckpointing safeguards your property from further deterioration. The process is both aesthetic and extremely functional.
What Is Repointing?
Excess moisture and cracks can lead to problems and damage. Repointing is a critical preventative maintenance technique that renews and seals off damaged and recessed mortar joints. This prevents water and other elements from penetrating your brick masonry. Repointing restores strength and prolongs the lifespan of masonry structures.
