How Will I Know If I Need Tuckpointing Work?

Although brick and mortar are two of the strongest and most durable building materials, they are not invincible and can suffer damage in the form of cracks, crumbling, holes, and gaps. Masonry structures that are exposed to moisture, high heat, and gases are especially prone to damage over time, and your chimney and fireplace are usually exposed to all three. Since your chimney and fireplace must be crack-, gap-, and hole-free if they’re to remain structurally stable, aesthetically pleasing, safe, efficient, and water-free, something must be done to repair these damages. That’s where tuckpointing comes in.

What Is Tuckpointing?

Tuckpointing is also referred to as repointing and is a practice that masons have been performing for decades. It is the process of carefully cutting out the damaged mortar and packing new mortar in its place. There are several factors that determine how successful this job is, including these:

• The skill, experience, and knowledge of the mason
• The tools/techniques used
• The materials used
