What is Tuckpointing? Tuckpointing is the removal and replacement of damaged or deteriorated mortar joints. It is also a way of using contrasting colors of mortar in the mortar joints of masonry/brick work. Typically, one color will match the bricks being used and the second color will be different. This gives the illusion that very fine joints have been made. This practice is most commonly used in the repair of brick walls and/or buildings.

Tuckpointing Vs. Replacement Services

As a homeowner, we understand how important it is to have all of the facts before making a large purchase. If you’re looking to bring your existing brick chimney or brick wall back to life, you may be considering the pros and cons to replacing the entire piece or simply repairing it. With tuckpointing, this is generally going to be more of a brick repair job. You can repair very specific pieces, while leaving the rest of the structure un-touched. This is a perfect option if you only have a couple of small flaws in your masonry.

If you’re in the process of buying a new home, or if you’ve been in your home for many years, it’s smart to have your brick work evaluated from time to time. You can often find out if the chimney has been tuckpointed in the past; if it has been, then it’s wise to go with a re-build instead. As with many other things, deteriorated mortar joints can only be repaired so many times before a replacement is needed. If you find that your brick mortar joints are showing overall deterioration or damage, you’re going to want to get that replaced.
