What is Tuckpointing? Tuckpointing, sometimes referred to as repointing or brick pointing, is the process of repairing mortar joints between bricks or stones. It provides a facelift to the exterior of a building, but its purpose is more than aesthetic; it also helps maintain or strengthen the integrity of a structure by helping to seal out moisture. When is tuckpointing necessary? Mortar typically lasts between 20–30 years before it needs maintenance. Obvious signs of mortar damage may include mortar joints that are cracked, broken, partially missing, or protruding from the surface. In serious cases, bricks or stone can also show spalling, cracking, or crumbling and may even break away from the building. These conditions require immediate attention to prevent water intrusion and further damage to the structure.
