A tuckpointing mason plays an important role during filling up the cracks and fissures formed on the wall cavities due to the leakage of water through the wall. Tuckpointing mason primarily works to repoint the bricks in the wall or the tuck in the mortar joints that have popped out. When you need to work on pointing in tuckpointing then, the mason needs to place plastic mortar inside the joints while in repointing the mason needs to place a plastic mortar inside the damaged joints for correcting the defects. Lastly, when the mason has to do tuckpointing, he uses flush mortar joint, which almost matches the color of the bricks and the units. In this case a contrasting colored mortar is also used as it is shaped in a thin strip.
Repointing is a common means of maintaining mortar joints by masons. The types of materials used ensure the longevity of the mortar joints in brick masonry. Repointing is primarily used to enhance the resistance to penetration of water. Repointing of damaged mortar joints helps to prevent water seepage through the brick wall.
