Masonry repointing is the process of removing and replacing the deteriorated mortar between bricks, stones, or other masonry units. This technique is essential for restoring the structural integrity and appearance of masonry walls, chimneys, and other structures. Repointing involves carefully chiseling out the old, damaged mortar and filling the joints with new mortar that matches the original in composition and color. Proper repointing not only enhances the durability of the masonry but also protects it from water infiltration, which can cause further deterioration. This process is particularly important in historic preservation, where maintaining the original appearance of the structure is critical.
