Pointing
Often
referred to as tuck pointing, re-pointing of mortar joints is a
important step in maintaining masonry. This type of maintenance is crucial
for maintaining integrity over time. It is very important that
the re-pointing of any type masonry be done with caution. If
the mortar being used is not correctly matched in strength by using
the correct ratio's of lime, portland and sand, it will cause
extreme damage to the object over a very short period of time.
Cut out deteriorated,
cracked, and missing mortar between brick, block, and stone.

Caulking
Caulking keeps the water out of
places it shouldn't be. Its vital for all masonry and concrete
to be free of trapped water. Once water gets in or under
masonry or concrete, it almost never evaporates and will eventually
freeze during the winter months and cause breakage. "it never
fails". Cut out and Re-caulk
