Repointing involves removing deteriorated mortar from existing masonry joints and installing compatible replacement mortar in the prepared joint areas.
Cracked, crumbling, recessed or missing mortar joints are common conditions that may indicate repointing should be considered. The surrounding brick or stone should also be reviewed before deciding on the repair.
Repointing repairs mortar joints between masonry units. Brick repair addresses bricks that are cracked, spalled, broken, loose or otherwise deteriorated.
Repointing generally refers to replacing deteriorated mortar. Tuckpointing can refer to a more decorative joint-finishing technique, although contractor terminology varies. This Newton page should primarily use repointing for mortar-joint repair.
No. Deteriorated mortar can be one pathway for moisture, but water entry can also involve masonry units, flashing, openings, wall assemblies, roof transitions or other components.
Repointing should not automatically be described as structural reinforcement. Where a wall has significant movement, displacement or structural concerns, additional evaluation or a broader repair scope may be needed.
Replacement mortar can be selected with consideration for the existing masonry, color, texture and visible characteristics, but exact visual or compositional matching cannot always be guaranteed.
