What Is Tuckpointing?

Restore Deteriorating Mortar Joints

Tuckpointing involves removing damaged mortar and replacing it with new material to help restore the appearance and integrity of brickwork. Properly maintained mortar joints can help protect your masonry from water intrusion and further deterioration.
