Tuckpointing

Tuckpointing is the craft of removing deteriorated mortar and repacking the joints with fresh, color-matched mortar tooled to a clean line. Done well, it seals the masonry against water and makes an aging chimney look sharp again. Done poorly, it's obvious — which is why the technique matters.

Signs you need tuckpointing

• Mortar joints are eroded, cracked or hollow
• The chimney looks weathered and patchy
• Water is entering through the joints
• Previous mortar work looks sloppy or mismatched
• You want to protect and refresh the masonry

The benefits

• Weather-tight, water-shedding joints
• Crisp, uniform lines that renew the look
• Color-matched mortar that blends with the brick
• Strengthens the overall masonry
• Adds years of life at a fraction of a rebuild
