Tuckpointing involves the careful removal of deteriorated mortar from the joints between bricks and replacing it with new mortar. Here’s why tuckpointing is essential for your building’s health:

• Prevents Water Damage: Damaged mortar allows water to seep into your building’s structure, leading to long-term issues like mold, rot, and foundation weakening.
  
  
• Extends the Lifespan of Your Building: Properly maintained mortar joints protect your brickwork from further deterioration, helping your structure last longer.
  
  
• Improves Aesthetic Appeal: Over time, crumbling mortar can make a building look old and neglected. Tuckpointing restores the clean, polished look of your brickwork.
  
  
• Preserves Structural Integrity: Tuckpointing reinforces the strength of your brick or stone structure, preventing costly future repairs.
