You won’t have to worry about the strength of the structure and whether it will eventually begin leaning or collapsing.

5″ Diamond tuck-pointing blade

This is the first step in the tuck-pointing process. This blade is designed to be used on brick joints, the blade is normally a 1/2″ thick to grind the total joint in one pass.

High PSI Air Blower

This is the second step in our tuckpointing process. As you can imagine after cutting through mortar with a diamond blade grinder, it leaves a drastic amount of fluffy textured mortar dust.

Water Treatment

This final step in the prepping process is key, for the fact that neither a brush nor high PSI air will completely remove all leftover dust molecules from the grinding process. This step is commonly missed with many masons.

Grout Bag Application

After mixing type s mortar to the proper consistency, we start the mortar application by putting mortar into grout bag. After filling the grout bag we slowly fill the voids we created with the diamond blade grinder, being sure to some what over fill voids to ensure after we scribe the joints there will be plenty of mortar between brick joints.

Clean and Brush

When all steps are finished and mortar is at the proper moisture content level we make a few passes horizontally as well as vertically with a coarse concrete brush to knock down all small leftover peaces clinging to brick.
