What Is Tuckpointing?
Over time, brick-and-mortar buildings naturally show signs of wear due to exposure to the elements. This can lead to cracks, gaps, and crumbling in the mortar, which, if left untreated, can compromise the building’s structural integrity.
Loose or missing mortar allows wind and cold air to infiltrate the wall and create cold spots in the house. This can increases your heating bill. The gaps permit access to bugs. Water that should run off the wall, enters the gaps and if it freezes and expands it pushes out more mortar and can crack the surrounding bricks.
Tuckpointing is the process of repairing or replacing damaged mortar in brick and stone walls. It involves carefully removing the old mortar and replacing it with new mortar that matches the existing brickwork, ensuring a uniform appearance and enhancing the building’s aesthetic appeal.
Signs that tuckpointing is needed include cracks, gaps, and deteriorating mortar.
