Tuckpointing and Repointing
EXPERT SERVICES
Maintain Your Masonry
At SMC Masonry, we understand the importance of maintaining the structural and aesthetic integrity of your brick and masonry surfaces. Over time, the mortar joints between bricks can deteriorate due to weathering, age, or environmental factors. This is where our expert Tuckpointing and Repointing services come in.
What is Tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing is the process of repairing and restoring mortar joints in brickwork. It involves removing the damaged or crumbling mortar and replacing it with fresh mortar to ensure the wall's stability and enhance its appearance. Tuckpointing not only protects your masonry but also prevents further damage from moisture infiltration, which can lead to costly repairs down the road.
What is Repointing?
Repointing is a more specialized form of tuckpointing where the old, deteriorated mortar is carefully removed, and new mortar is applied to restore the original look and strength of the structure. Repointing helps preserve the longevity of your masonry while maintaining its visual appeal.

When to Consider Tuckpointing and Repointing?
Visible Cracks in Mortar:
If you notice cracks or gaps in the mortar joints, it's time to consider tuckpointing or repointing.
​
Crumbled or Missing Mortar:
Deterioration of mortar can expose the brick to the elements, potentially leading to water damage, mold, and further degradation.
​
Water Leaks or Dampness:
If your brickwork is leaking water or showing signs of dampness, repointing is a crucial step in stopping moisture penetration.
​
Aesthetic Concerns:
Over time, mortar can discolor or fade, affecting the overall look of your masonry. Tuckpointing restores the appearance and freshness of the wall.
