The mortar between the bricks can crack and wear away over time. This is a very common problem and a solution that MCP technicians employ on a daily basis.

• The first step in a proper tuck-pointing job is to grind the old and worn mortar out of the joints. The joints are then thoroughly rinsed.
• New mortar is then “tuck-pointed” into the newly opened joints.
• The mason will then strike the joints to seal and to give the joints a clean and detailed finish.
• The final step is a thorough brushing to clean up the excess and the tuck-pointing job is complete and ready to provide many years of sound structure and beauty.
