One of the most popular services we offer is tuckpointing - common maintenance task to repair mortar joints. But terms tuckpointing, re-pointing and pointing have different meaning in different areas of Canada, which sometimes creates conflicts regarding the job specifications of expected repairs. Over years, following definitions have been developed: "tuckpointing" places masonry with flush mortar that is shaped into a thin strip, "re-pointing" places new mortar into cut or raked joints to correct defective mortar joints in masonry, "pointing" places mortar into joints to correct defects or fill joints in newly laid masonry. Common reason for re-pointing is to improve water penetration resistance. Damaged and deteriorated mortar joints are an entry way for water to penetrate a brick structure. Water is subject to expansive forces of freeze and thaw cycles that damage masonry units, causing them to rapidly deteriorate. Re-pointing is very labour-intensive task and should be performed only by qualified and experienced mason. Important steps of re-pointing are: identify areas of the building which require re-pointing, cut out mortar joints to proper depth and clean, prepare the new mortar for re-pointing and placement of new mortar. Sometimes custom colouring of the re-pointing mortar may be required to match the original colour.
