Mortar joints are designed to fail before masonry units (brick, block or stone) and when they do, this indicates that the mortar has reached the end of its service life and should be fixed professionally. Minnesota’s severe weather can cause movement and abrasion that result in weathered, deteriorated and cracked mortar. When these visual indicators are observed, joint repair by a professional tuckpointing contractor is essential in preventing a damaging chain of events.
