How long does tuckpointing last?

Properly done tuckpointing typically lasts 25–50+ years. The key is cutting to correct depth and using the right mortar mix — especially on older, softer heritage brick.

Why does my mortar look powdery?

That's failed mortar, usually from age, weather, or the wrong mortar mix. It should be removed and replaced before the bricks themselves start to shift.
