TUCK POINTING

While bricks are naturally long-lasting and durable construction materials with a lifespan of up to one hundred years, the mortar that keeps your bricks in place does not share the same life span of your bricks.In fact, mortar joints usually need to be replaced or filled in every twenty to thirty years. That’s why tuckpointing, which is the service of replacing the mortar between bricks, is a regular part of any good brick maintenance servicing. Tuckpointing is also called repointing.

APPEARANCE

Tuckpointing will give your brick structure a fresh and clean look which can uplift the entire brickwork appearance! Many homeowners choose to repoint their chimneys or other brick structures before putting their homes on the market.

DURABILITY

Another reason to consider tuckpointing is as a preventative measure. Tuckpointing will prolong the life of your brick structures because it provides extra strength to your bricks, decreasing the risk that your bricks will become loose or cracked.
