Tuckpointing

The skilled restoration of deteriorating mortar joints in brick and stone walls by carefully removing old mortar and installing fresh, properly matched mortar. Essential for Ontario homes facing freeze-thaw damage, tuckpointing prevents water infiltration that can cause expensive structural damage. Signs you need tuckpointing include crumbling mortar, gaps between bricks, or white mineral deposits (efflorescence). Professional tuckpointing extends your masonry's lifespan by 20-30 years and protects your investment from costly water damage repairs.
