Waterproofing It is Important to Remember that Brick is a Porous Absorptive Material, and that Water Can Penetrate a Brick Wall Wherever There is a Lack of Material: at Bond Breaks, Hairline Cracks Between Brick and Mortar, Unfilled Joints, Movement Cracks, and Even Unfilled Line-pin Holes. There are All Sorts of Opinions About Whether Water that Penetrates a Brick Wall is Coming Through the Brick, Through the Mortar, or Through Small Cracks in the Mortar. But It Really Doesn't Matter How you Visualize the Moisture Entering into the Wall System. What Matters is Understanding the Solutions that Can Prevent Water Problems. An Important Step in Solving Water Problems is by Hiring the Right Contractor with the Best Knowledge and Experience to Do Your Job Right. Tuck Pointing or Repointing We Repair, Replace, and Restore the Deteriorated and Weathered Mortar in All Types of Masonry. Tuck Pointing or Repointing is the Process of Raking Out One to Two Centimeters of Mortar From t he Joints of Brick or Stone and Replacing It with New Mortar. It is Required Where Mortar Has Deteriorated by Weathering (often Due to Uncontrolled Rainwater) or When Structural Movement Has Opened Up the Joints. Repointing Should Be Applied Only Where Necessary. Removal of Sound Mortar for the Sake of Doing An Entire Wall, for Example, is Structurally Unnecessary and Can Lead to Damage of the Masonry Units.
