Over time, the mortar joints that hold brick and stone together naturally deteriorate due to weather exposure, moisture, and age. When mortar begins to crack, crumble, or wash away, your masonry becomes vulnerable to water damage and structural issues.
Repointing is the process of removing damaged or deteriorated mortar from masonry joints and replacing it with new, properly matched mortar. This restores the bond between bricks or stones and protects the structure from moisture intrusion.
Properly done repointing can extend the life of masonry by decades.

Repointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from masonry joints and installing compatible replacement mortar. It focuses on the joints between brick, stone or other masonry units rather than automatically replacing the masonry units themselves.
Repointing primarily addresses damaged mortar joints. Masonry repair primarily addresses cracked, broken, loose, displaced or deteriorated brick or stone units.
The terms are sometimes used interchangeably in the trade, but they are not technically identical in every context. Repointing focuses on replacing deteriorated mortar, while traditional tuckpointing can involve a more decorative contrasting joint-finishing technique.
No. Deteriorated mortar can be one possible water-entry pathway, but masonry walls can also involve flashing, sealants, openings, roof transitions and other components.
